#Blackhawks recall goaltender Drew Commesso from AHL's Rockford IceHogs.

The United States National Team Development Program product has played in six of the Icehogs’ 12 games this season with a 3.71 goals against average and a .854 save percentage.
Rockford is 4-8-0-0 on the year and currently last in the American Hockey League’s central division.
The Blackhawks goaltending this year between Petr Mrázek and Arvid Söderblom has been substantially better than it could be, but not where the Blackhawks need it to be with Mrázek hosting a 5-8 record with a 2.79 GAA and a .906 SV% while Söderblom sits with a 1-3 record with a 2.22 GAA and a .934 SV%.
The Blackhawks signed Laurent Brossoit in the offseason, but the 31-year-old NHL veteran has missed time this season after recovering from meniscus surgery.
Arvid Soderblom is working in the starter’s net this morning.
