Blackwell will make his season debut after missing the first two and a half months of the season recovering from a groin injury. Blackwell scored 10 points (2G / 8A) in 53 games in his first season with the Blackhawks last year. He is expected to skate on the third line with Jason Dickinson and Nick Foligno.

Colin Blackwell (lower body) has been placed on the injured reserve and is out indefinitely.

Blackwell had two goals, eight assists, 53 SOG, six PIMs, and a -16 plus/minus through 53 games with Chicago in 2022-23 but will begin the 2023-24 season on the injured reserve due to a lower-body injury. The 30-year-old veteran forward is considered out indefinitely as he begins his sixth NHL season. He will be used as a key depth piece when he returns to the Blackhawks.

Blackwell is expected to miss at least one week with an upper-body injury.

Blackwell played just 2:53 in the Rangers game vs. the Penguins on Saturday and will miss 7-10 days with an upper-body injury. With Blackwell coming out of the lineup on Monday, look for Julien Gauthier to draw back in.

The Rangers have signed Colin Blackwell to a one-year deal worth $1.45 million ($725K AAV).

After spending the last three seasons in the Predators' organization, Blackwell hit the open market on Friday and signed on with the Rangers. In New York he could have a tough time cracking the opening night roster but he's a hard-working winger that could serve a role in the bottom-6 if injuries pop up. He had 10 points (3G / 7A) in 27 games with the Predators in 2020.
