Delia was excellent in his only game of action with the Vancouver Canucks prior to being reassigned to Abbotsford (AHL) Monday. He heads back to the minors where he had a 5-3-0 record, .884 SV% and 3.44 GAA prior to his previous promotion.
Marc-Andre Fleury was placed on the COVID-19 protocol list on Monday, so Delia comes up to serve as the Blackhawks' No.2 ahead of Wednesday's game. Delia has gone 4-4-1 with a 2.86 GAA and .907 SV% in nine AHL games this season.
Delia has appeared in 18 NHL games over the last three seasons but spent all of 2020 in the AHL, where he was 16-13-1 with a 2.66 GAA and .912 SV%. With no clear No.1 option in Chicago this season, Delia will battle with Malcolm Subban for playing time in the Blackhawks crease. Subban had his moments on Wednesday but still lost decisively, Delia could be in for the same fate tonight.
Cam Ward is set to return in a backup role at the very least, so Delia heads back to Rockford. The 24-year-old is 8-6-4 with a 2.36 GAA and .929 SV% in 19 AHL contests this season.
