The Chicago Blackhawks have recalled forward Brandon Pirri (PEER-ee) from the American Hockey League’s Rockford IceHogs.

With Ben Smith and Dave Bolland questionable for this weekend's games, the Blackhawks re-called Pirri. Last season, the Toronto native scored 12 goals and 43 points over 70 games for the Rockland IceHogs of the AHL. He should be capable of handling a checking role for the Blackhawks, possibly potting a few goals,.

I definitely think he’ll be up here at some point. The numbers just didn’t work in his favor right now but it’s a long season, and he’s a center which puts him on high alert at all times.

The former second round pick has put himself in good position to make the team as the third line center with yet another impressive game. Last season, the Toronto native scored 12 goals and 43 points over 70 games for the Rockland IceHogs of the AHL. He should be capable of handling a checking role for the Blackhawks and should see time in their sweater at some point this season.

Pirri's ability as a pure center and a strong camp has put him in the picture.

Quenneville indicated the 20-year-old Pirri isn’t necessarily on the cusp of playing in the NHL, but he’s one of those guys the Hawks might have to count on at the center position if there are injuries. He was recalled from Rockford for one game last season.

Sounds like Pirri will at least start the season in the AHL. The 20-year-old managed to score 12 goals and 43 points through 70 games last season for the Rockford IceHogs. He should be one of the first callups for the Blackhawks this year.
