Krivokrasov, the Hawks’ No. 1 pick and 12th overall in 1992, had 18 goals and 23 assists for the Ice this season. He played four games with the Hawks last season without scoring a point.
Coach Darryl Sutter is planning to use Krivokrasov with his two minor-league linemates, center Jeff Shantz and left wing Steve Dubinsky.
