With Ben Smith and Dave Bolland questionable for this weekend's games, the Blackhawks re-called Pirri. Last season, the Toronto native scored 12 goals and 43 points over 70 games for the Rockland IceHogs of the AHL. He should be capable of handling a checking role for the Blackhawks, possibly potting a few goals,.
The former second round pick has put himself in good position to make the team as the third line center with yet another impressive game. Last season, the Toronto native scored 12 goals and 43 points over 70 games for the Rockland IceHogs of the AHL. He should be capable of handling a checking role for the Blackhawks and should see time in their sweater at some point this season.
No immediate fantasy hockey value in the AHL.

Sounds like Pirri will at least start the season in the AHL. The 20-year-old managed to score 12 goals and 43 points through 70 games last season for the Rockford IceHogs. He should be one of the first callups for the Blackhawks this year.
