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.
Blackwell was with the Predators prior to the break, picking up one assist in six games before being sent down for the break. Blackwell is third on the team in points (23) in 26 games with the Admirals this season.
Blackwell has one goal and two assists in eight games with Milwaukee this season. With Filip Forsberg likely out and Matt Duchene questionable, Blackwell could make his season debut on Tuesday. The former seventh-round pick has no points in six career NHL games.
Blackwell failed to record a point in six games with the Predators during his call-up. He returns to the AHL where he has seven goals in 16 games because Kyle Turris has been activated from IR and is set to return to the lineup on Thursday.
Blackwell appeared in three games before the All-Star break and returns to the Predators with Auston Watson suspended indefinitely. Blackwell has seven goals and no assists in 16 games with Milwaukee.
Blackwell has picked up seven goals in 14 games with the Admirals this season and has never appeared in an NHL game.
Blackwell is formerly a seventh-round pick of the Sharks (No.194 in 2011) and is coming off of a season in which he had 17 goals and 28 assists (45 points) in 61 games with the Rochester Americans (AHL). He will be in Milwaukee (AHL) to start the 2019 season.
