(670 The Score) The Blackhawks have recalled goalie Collin Delia on an emergency basis from AHL Rockford, they announced late Tuesday afternoon.

Delia is needed because goalie Cam Ward will be sidelined from hockey activities for the next seven to 10 days with the right kene injury, the Blackhawks said later in the evening.

Delia, 24, is 6-4-3 with a 3.48 goals against average and .909 save percentage in 15 appearances for the Blackhawks this season. He's 8-6-4 with a 2.36 goals against average and .929 save percentage in 19 games with the Icehogs.

The Blackhawks next play when they host the Sabres at the United Center on Thursday evening.
