The Blackhawks signed 2019 first-round draft pick Kirby Dach to a three-year entry-level contract Monday.
Dach was selected third overall in last month’s NHL draft after scoring 73 points (25 goals, 48 assists) for the Saskatoon Blades in the WHL. He finished among the top four in all three offensive categories for the Blades and won 41 percent of his faceoffs. The hulking 6-foot-4, 198-pounder was one of the main reasons why the Blades ended their playoff drought as he finished the playoffs with eight points (five goals, three assists) in 10 games.
