After two and a half seasons in Chicago, Taylor Raddysh has joined Washington on a one-year deal worth $1,000,000. The 26-year-old right-winger was expected to break out in 2023-24 after a 37-point campaign the year before, but struggled mightily only putting up five goals, 14 points and a -19 plus/minus in 73 games played.
Raddysh will not play in Chicago's regular season finale, bringing a slightly premature end to his season. He finishes the year with five goals and nine assists in 73 games.
Nick Foligno will not play Wednesday due to personal reasons, allowing Raddysh to re-enter the lineup. Raddysh has been held off the scoresheet in eight of his last night games, recording a single two-point effort (0G / 2A).
Raddysh missed practice on Friday due to a right quad injury and will be a game-time decision on Saturday as Chicago hosts Ottawa. The 25-year-old winger is having an incredibly disappointing 2023-24 season, with five goals, 11 points, 83 SOG, 12 PIMs and a -11 plus/minus through 49 games played. If he is able to go, he will take his usual spot on Chicago's third line and 2nd powerplay unit.
Reese Johnson will be a healthy scratch on Tuesday, allowing Raddysh to return to the lineup after missing five games with a lower-body injury. Raddysh has 10 points (5G / 5A) in 35 games this season and is expected to play on the top line of an injury-depleted Blackhawks roster alongside Rem Pitlick and Philipp Kurashev.
Raddysh suffered a lower-body injury last in Thursday's game and did not return. Head coach Luke Richardson said that he would be evaluated on Friday, so consider him questionable for Saturday's game in Seattle.
Raddysh was acquired for Brandon Hagel on Friday and will make his debut Saturday afternoon in Minnesota. The Blackhawks did not announce who he will replace in the lineup but he comes in with 12 points (5G / 7A) in 53 games this season.
Raddysh missed the last three games while in COVID-19 protocol but is expected to play Tuesday in Columbus. It's unclear where Raddysh will slot into the lineup but he has eight points (4G / 4A) in his last 11 games.
Raddysh will be replaced by Pierre-Edouard Bellemare, who was activated from the protocol list this morning. Ross Colton should move up to replace him on the line with Steven Stamkos.
