Kirby Dach will make his NHL debut for the Blackhawks when they host the Capitals on Sunday at the United Center.
Chicago recalled Dach, who was selected third overall in this year’s NHL draft, from the AHL on Friday after a six-day conditioning assignment where the forward recorded seven shots in three games with the Rockford IceHogs. It was his first game action since Sept. 10 when he suffered a concussion during the seventh-place game in the NHL Prospect tournament in Traverse City, Michigan.
Blackhawks coach Jeremy Colliton didn’t say during Sunday morning’s optional skate where Dach will slot into the lineup.
