Chicago Blackhawks News

The Canucks have acquired Jason Dickinson from the Stars for a 3rd round pick.

Dickinson is a pending RFA and the Stars were likely worried about losing him for nothing in the Expansion Draft, so they get a third-round pick in return by sending him to Vancouver. Dickinson has averaged 10 goals and 16 assists (26 points) per 82-games over the last three seasons. The Canucks have protected Dickinson in the Expansion Draft.

The Blackhawks have signed Lukas Reichel to a three-year, entry-level contract.

Reichel was selected No.17 overall in 2020 and made another splash in the DEL in 2021, finishing fifth on the team with 27 points (10G / 17A) in 38 games. That's a terrific showing for a 19-year-old, who also had five points (3G / 2A) in seven games while representing Germany at the World Juniors. Reichel has a chance to break into the NHL in the 2021-22 season.

Foligno (upper-body) is expected to play on Wednesday.

Foligno has missed the last two games with an upper-body injury but is expected to play in Ottawa on Wednesday. Foligno was originally listed as a game-time decision on Tuesday but reportedly responded well after yesterday's practice. He skated with John Tavares and William Nylander in practice but has played primarily with Auston Matthew and Mitch Marner to this point, so it's unclear who he will skate with tonight.
