Rem Pitlick - Traded to Windy City Chicago acquired Pitlick from Pittsburgh on Saturday in exchange for a conditional 2026 seventh-round draft pick.

Impact Pitlick has eight goals and 24 points in 32 games with AHL Wilkes-Barre/Scranton this season. He should get a chance to make his Chicago debut soon following injuries to Connor Bedard (fractured jaw) and Nick Foligno (fractured finger) in Friday's 4-2 loss to New Jersey.

Connor Bedard - Lands on IR Bedard (jaw) was placed on IR Saturday after fracturing his jaw in Friday's loss to the Devils.

Impact Bedard took a big hit from Brendan Smith early in the first period Friday that ultimately will force the star rookie to miss time with a fractured jaw. The 18-year-old Bedard had 33 points (15 goals, 18 assists) through his first 39 games, though he'd been held to just one assist in his last five contests. With Nick Foligno (finger) also heading to IR, Chicago will need to bring up some reinforcements from the AHL to round out their lineup.

Arvid Soderblom - Burned by Devils Soderblom turned aside 28 of 31 shots in Friday's 4-2 loss to the Devils.

Impact New Jersey's final goal was scored into an empty net. The Chicago netminder didn't play poorly, but Soderblom might want another crack at a Simon Nemec shot from distance that tied the game at 2-2 and ignited a three-goal rally for the Devils in the third period. Soderblom has lost eight straight decisions stretching back to late November, going 0-7-1 over his last nine appearances with a 4.28 GAA and .866 save percentage.
