Blackhawks' Oliver Moore: Set for extended absence
Rotowire
Head coach Jeff Blashill said Monday that Moore will miss a significant amount of time due to a lower-body injury, Charlie Roumeliotis of WGN Radio reports.
Moore sustained the injury Sunday in Dallas. The full extent of Moore's injury has not been revealed, but there is a possibility the 21-year-old gets shut down for the rest of the season at some point in the near future, depending on how his recovery goes. Moore will probably land on injured reserve as well, with a forward being recalled from AHL Rockford in a corresponding move -- the Blackhawks currently have only 12 healthy forwards on their roster.

Blackhawks' Oliver Moore: Nets lone goal in loss
Rotowire
Moore scored a power-play goal on two shots and went minus-3 in Friday's 5-1 loss to the Capitals.

Blackhawks' Oliver Moore: Picks up pair of helpers
Rotowire
Moore notched two assists, including one on the power play, in Tuesday's 3-2 shootout loss to the Islanders.
Over the previous 11 games, Moore had been limited to one assist, 15 shots on net and a minus-5 rating. The 20-year-old forward centered a line with Nick Lardis and Teuvo Teravainen in this contest, and the trio showed some promise. Moore is up to 11 points (two on the power play), 34 shots on net, 16 hits and a minus-4 rating across 27 appearances. He's not a widespread fantasy option, but he'll have a chance to see key minutes up the middle in the absences of Connor Bedard (upper body), Frank Nazar (upper body) and Jason Dickinson (undisclosed).

Blackhawks' Oliver Moore: Two points in big win
Rotowire
Moore recorded a goal, an assist and a plus-2 rating in Tuesday's 5-2 win over the Flames.
The 20-year-old playmaker made his NHL debut Nov. 3 and hasn't needed a lot of time to adjust to a top-six role, as he's racked up five points (two goals, three assists) in his first seven outings. He earned his first multi-point effort, and Moore should continue to have plenty of opportunities to keep producing as long as he continues to see regular playing time. Moore currently holds a second-line role at even strength and is also a member of the second power-play unit.

Blackhawks' Oliver Moore: Scores first NHL goal
Rotowire
Moore scored a goal and put five shots on net in Sunday's 5-1 win over Detroit.
Moore's first goal at the NHL level came with 16 seconds to go in regulation. Since his call-up from AHL Rockford, he has two points in four contests with the Blackhawks. The 20-year-old has seen a nice stint on the second line due to the injuries to Jason Dickinson (shoulder) and Frank Nazar (undisclosed). It remains to be seen whether Moore will head back down to AHL Rockford when Dickinson is activated from IR, but Moore's first stint in the NHL this season could lead to more opportunities in the future.

Blackhawks' Oliver Moore: Heroics in IceHogs' win
Rotowire
Moore scored both goals for AHL Rockford in its 2-1 overtime win over Texas on Friday.
Moore opened the scoring 1:15 into the first period and won it 2:18 into overtime. The 20-year-old forward is up to four goals and an assist through three minor-league games. He's doing everything he can to be ready for a call-up should the Blackhawks opt to change things up at the NHL level. However, Moore is unlikely to get promoted unless there's at least middle-six minutes waiting for him, as he's too talented to grind it out on the fourth line.
