Blackwell failed to record a point in six games with the Predators during his call-up. He returns to the AHL where he has seven goals in 16 games because Kyle Turris has been activated from IR and is set to return to the lineup on Thursday.
Blackwell appeared in three games before the All-Star break and returns to the Predators with Auston Watson suspended indefinitely. Blackwell has seven goals and no assists in 16 games with Milwaukee.
Blackwell has picked up seven goals in 14 games with the Admirals this season and has never appeared in an NHL game.
Blackwell is formerly a seventh-round pick of the Sharks (No.194 in 2011) and is coming off of a season in which he had 17 goals and 28 assists (45 points) in 61 games with the Rochester Americans (AHL). He will be in Milwaukee (AHL) to start the 2019 season.
