Blackhawks recall Alexandre Fortin from AHL

The Chicago Blackhawks recalled winger Alexandre Fortin from the AHL on Tuesday night, the team announced.

Fortin, 21, is scoreless through two games with the Rockford IceHogs this season. The 6-foot, 174-pound speedster tallied 21 points (four goals, 17 assists) in 53 regular-season games last season for the IceHogs. He missed 23 games due to a lower-body injury.

Fortin was not one of the 12 IceHogs recalled last season.

Prior to his first professional season, Fortin played three seasons for Rouyn-Noranda in the QMJHL. Chicago signed the undrafted free agent in September 2016 after a breakout performance in training camp.
