Collin Delia will make his season debut Friday when the Blackhawks visit the Avalanche at the Pepsi Center in Denver.
Chicago recalled Delia on Monday from the AHL on an “emergency basis” after star goaltender Corey Crawford suffered his second concussion in less than a year Sunday against San Jose.
Cam Ward has won back-to-back games for Chicago since Crawford was placed on injured reserve as he goes through concussion protocol. Ward made 30 saves against Nashville on Tuesday in Chicago and 26 stops Thursday in Dallas.
