The Blackhawks locked up one of their restricted free agents on Wednesday after it was announced that defenseman Carl Dahlstrom agreed to terms on a two-year extension that runs through the 2020-21 season and has an average annual value of $850,000.
The Blackhawks now have five defensemen from their current roster signed for next season: Dahlstrom, Erik Gustafsson, Duncan Keith, Connor Murphy and Brent Seabrook. Gustav Forsling and Slater Koekkoek are the other two RFAs.
Dahlstrom, 24, has six points — all assists — and a plus-8 rating in 35 games with the Blackhawks this season. He's also averaging 18:30 of ice time.
