The Blackhawks have recalled defenseman Nicolas Beaudin from the Rockford IceHogs of the American Hockey League, the team announced Tuesday.
Beaudin, who was drafted in the first round (No. 27 overall) of the 2018 NHL Draft, has 15 points (three goals, 12 assists) in 59 games with the IceHogs in his first season as a pro. He spent the previous four seasons in the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League, where he recorded 167 points (24 goals, 143 assists) in 211 games for the Drummondville Voltigeurs.
The IceHogs are in the middle of a playoff push, but don't play again until Saturday when they visit the Wolves in Chicago.
