The Penguins have acquired Alex Nylander from the Blackhawks for Sam Lafferty.

Nylander was the No.8 overall pick in 2016 but was traded to Chicago in 2019 and has spent all of 2022 with Rockford (AHL). Nylander who has 32 points (13G / 19A) in 84 career NHL games, has tallied 12 points (8G / 4A) in 23 AHL games this season. It's unclear whether or not he will report to the Penguins or the AHL.

Nylander underwent surgery to repair a meniscus tear in his left knee and is out indefinitely.

Nylander could be in danger of missing all of the 2021 season after undergoing surgery on Monday, which is part of the reason why the Blackhawks went out and signed veteran Carl Soderberg on Saturday. The 22-year-old Nylander struggled in his first season in Chicago, collecting just 26 points (10G / 16A) in 65 games. His injury opens the door for a lot of competition in the Blackhawks' training camp next week.

Nylander had one assist in four games with the Sabres a season ago.
