It looks like the 2022-23 NHL season debut for one of the Chicago Blackhawks prospects is on its way this weekend.
On Friday morning, the team announced that defenseman Ian Mitchell, a 2017 second-round pick (57th overall) was recalled from the AHL’s Rockford IceHogs.

In a corresponding move on Thursday, Alec Regula was sent to Rockford.
Mitchell heads to Chicago after a brief but stellar stint in Rockford, where he started the season following a wrist injury sustained in September that sidelined him for about six weeks.
