The Blackhawks have signed Sam Lafferty to a two-year contract extension worth $2.3 million ($1.15M AAV).

The Blackhawks acquired Lafferty from the Penguins for Alex Nylander in early-January and the 27-year-old had five goals with six assists (11 points) in 45 games with Chicago. Lafferty was set to become a UFA at the end of the season.

Grzelcyk left Sunday's game with an upper-body injury and did not return.

Grzelcyk played just 3:11 TOI in Washington on Sunday before suffering an upper-body injury. The Bruins have plenty of depth on the blueline, so they'll be able to survive without Grzelcyk in the short term but they will be hoping this isn't a long-term injury.
