Richards, 23, led Rockford netminders with two shutouts and a 2.89 GAA in 44 appearances in his first full professional campaign. The Robbinsdale, Minnesota, native posted a 17-21-2 mark between the pipes for the IceHogs.
The Blackhawks will meet the Vancouver Canucks at Rogers Arena at 9 p.m. (CT) Friday, April 15 in Game 2 of the 2011 Western Conference Quarterfinals.
