The Blackhawks have recalled Alex DeBrincat from Rockford (AHL).
DeBrincat, 19, was βsent downβ yesterday as a paper transaction to get under the salary cap ceiling before they put Marian Hossa on LTIR. The 2016 No.39 pick had 127 points (65G / 62A) in 63 games with Erie (OHL) last season and is expected to open the 2017-18 season on either the second or third line.
