Gabriel was reassigned from Chicago's taxi squad to AHL Rockford on Wednesday, Carter Baum of the Blackhawks' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Lukas Reichel joined the Blackhawks' taxi squad in a corresponding move, so Chicago's no longer in need of Gabriel's services as an emergency option up front. The 28-year-old winger has gone scoreless through two top-level appearances this season.

Gabriel was promoted to the taxi squad Thursday, Carter Baum of the Blackhawks' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Gabriel will link up with the Blackhawks during their road trip after the team placed three players in the COVID-19 protocols Thursday. It's unclear if he'll see any game action, but he's unlikely to play in more than a bottom-six role if he does.

The Blackhawks assigned Gabriel to AHL Rockford on Wednesday, Charlie Roumeliotis of NBC Sports Chicago reports.

Gabriel was traded from Toronto to Chicago in exchange for Chad Krys on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Gabriel has spent all of the 2021-22 season with AHL Toronto so far, tallying two points in 13 appearances. The 28-year-old winger has five points and 153 PIM through 49 career NHL games. He's expected to join Chicago in Toronto on Saturday.

Gabriel signed a one-year contract with the Maple Leafs on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Gabriel appeared in just 11 contests with the Sharks last season, going scoreless while averaging 7:40 of ice time per contest. The 28-year-old winger will likely have a similar role with Toronto in 2021-22, so he won't be a viable fantasy option.

Gabriel was promoted from the taxi squad for Monday's matchup with the Kings, CapFriendly reports.
EDGE Analysis
Gabriel has racked up 31 penalty minutes in nine NHL games this season but has yet to score a point. He should continue bouncing between the press box and lineup regularly.

EDGE Analysis
Gabriel exited the lineup to make way for Antti Suomela's season debut in the second half of a back-to-back. Expect Gabriel to remain in the mix for playing time, as he provides grit in the bottom six.

Head coach Bob Boughner said Tuesday that Gabriel (undisclosed) is day-to-day, Curtis Pashelka of The San Jose Mercury News reports.
EDGE Analysis
Boughner believes Gabriel has a chance to play in Wednesday's game against the Golden Knights, so it's not too serious of an injury. The 27-year-old has played a rugged role over the last six contests, recording 28 hits and 21 PIM.
