The 21-year-old forward already played for the Blackhawks' AHL affiliate last season but did never get the opportunity to suit up for the NHL team. Last night, he had two shots on goal and skated for 14:22 minutes.

As for Gaëtan Haas, the forward was back in practice yesterday. As Chris Johnston reports, he has been removed from the list of players who are unavailable to play or to practice due to the Covid-19 protocols.

Jordan Staal (CAR), Eric Comrie (NJ) and Anton Forsberg (WPG) were added to the NHL's COVID Protocol list today.

Those removed after appearing previously: Ben Hutton (ANA), Karson Kuhlman (BOS), Gaetan Haas (EDM), James Neal (EDM), Luca Sbisa (NSH) and Kasperi Kapanen (PIT).
