Rinzel was promoted from AHL Rockford on Friday.

Rinzel will likely provide some emergency coverage for the Hawks' blue line, which currently has only six defensemen on the roster. In 28 appearances for Chicago this season, the 21-year-old blueliner has generated one goal on 39 shots, seven assists and 26 hits while averaging 16:32 of ice time.
