Welsh has five goals and three assists (eight points) in 11 games with Chicago this season. The 27-year-old has two career NHL points in 25 games between the Hurricanes and Canucks. There is no word whether he will make his Blues debut on Monday.
Jeremy Welsh is a salary dump. The Hurricanes signed Welsh to a one-year contract to play one game after three impressive years in the NCAA — in his 2011-12 season, he was one of the top goal scorers in college hockey with 27 goals in 40 games — then re-signed him to a two-year contract worth an average of $850,000. Welsh disappointed in his first professional season, scoring 14 goals and 26 points in 69 games in the AHL. Still, there may be some potential to be a bottom-six forward in the NHL, considering he has decent size at 6’3? and clearly has some skill.
Welsh is not fantasy relevant. Riley Nash is sick and might miss tonight's game so this call-up is just precautionary.
Welsh is certainly put in an opportunity to succeed.
Welsh is expected to see a good amount of playing time tomorrow. Interesting to see what this collegiate standout can do.
Welsh just completed his third year at Union College, scoring 27 goals and 43 points in 39 games.
