Dylan Sikura to make NHL debut as Blackhawks host Jets

Another potential piece of the Chicago Blackhawks future will get his first NHL action Thursday night as Dylan Sikura makes his professional debut against the Winnipeg Jets at the United Center.

Sikura, 22, was signed to an entry-level contract Sunday after his Northeastern Huskies were eliminated from the NCAA tournament on Saturday. The 5-foot-11, 158-pound Sikura will wear No. 95 on his back and is expected to debut on a line with Victor Ejdsell at center and Alex DeBrincat on the opposite wing. It’s strange to say that DeBrincat is by far the most experienced professional player on a line, but that’s the case here.
