Trevor van Riemsdyk signs two-year extension with Blackhawks

Trevor van Riemsdyk made a splash as an unknown coming out of training camp last fall. Now he'll have a few more seasons to see what he can do with the Blackhawks.

Van Riemsdyk agreed to a two-year extension with the Blackhawks on Tuesday afternoon. The deal expires at the end of the 2017-18 season. Van Riemsdyk is entering the final year of his current deal, which carries a cap hit of $925,000.
