Drew Commesso - NHL News & Rumors

Sent to AHL Commesso was reassigned to AHL Rockford on Thursday, Charlie Roumeliotis of WGN Radio reports.

Impact Commesso spent a week and a half with the NHL club since Petr Mrazek (groin) was sidelined. However, Commesso made just two appearances (one start) during his time with Chicago, posting an 0-1-0 record, 3.38 GAA and .846 save percentage. He'll head back to the minors, where he should see more consistent playing time, after Mrazek was activated from injured reserve Thursday.

Overwhelmed in third period Commesso made 20 saves Saturday in a 4-1 loss to the Devils.

Impact It was Commesso's first NHL start, and he had a 1-0 lead heading into the third period. But the Devils overwhelmed the Hawks that frame, including their final three goals which came in 2:06. Commesso is now part of a tandem that's looking to turn around a stretch where they have lost seven of eight. He's bound to struggle -- the Hawks are a bad defensive team. Let someone else scoop him off the wire.

Starting in New Jersey Commesso will patrol the visiting crease in New Jersey on Saturday, according to Ben Pope of the Chicago Sun-Times.

Impact Commesso made his NHL debut Thursday in relief of Arvid Soderblom, stopping both shots. Commesso was recalled Sunday as Petr Mrazek was placed on injured reserve with a groin injury. The 22-year-old Commesso was 4-6-0 with a 3.34 GAA and an .879 save percentage in 10 AHL games with Rockford before his recall. He has a tough matchup as the Devils are averaging 3.31 goals per game in 2024-25.

Makes NHL debut in relief Commesso turned aside both the shots he faced after replacing Arvid Soderblom midway through the third period of Thursday's 5-4 loss to the Islanders.

Impact It was the first NHL action of Commesso's career, and the 22-year-old netminder nearly got rewarded with a win when Chicago almost rallied from a 5-1 deficit. Petr Mrazek (groin) isn't expected back for at least another week, and with the team playing back-to-back games this weekend, Commesso seems likely to get his first NHL start either Saturday in New Jersey or Sunday back at home in a rematch with the Isles.

Back with Chicago Commesso was recalled from AHL Rockford on Sunday.

Impact This could be a longer stint in the NHL for Commesso as Petr Mrazek (groin) was placed on IR in a subsequent move. The 22-year-old Commesso has yet to appear in an NHL game -- he went 4-6-0 with an .879 save percentage in the minors this year. He figures to back up Arvid Soderblom on Monday in a road matchup with the Rangers.

Heads back to AHL Commesso was reassigned to AHL Rockford on Wednesday.

Impact Commesso served as backup to Arvid Soderblom for Tuesday's 3-2 loss to the Ducks while Petr Mrazek was away from the team for personal reasons. The 22-year-old Commesso has yet to make his NHL debut, but he appears to be the top option for a recall whenever the Blackhawks need additional help in the crease.

NOVEMBER 20 • ROTOWIRE

Brought up from minors Commesso was elevated to the NHL roster by the Blackhawks on Tuesday.

Impact Commesso's recall would seem to indicate that either Petr Mrazek or Arvid Soderblom won't be available against the Ducks on Tuesday and the team will need Commesso to serve as the backup. While fantasy players will have to wait to see who is starting for the Hawks, it almost certainly won't be Commesso, so he shouldn't be expected to offer much in the way of short-term fantasy value.

NOVEMBER 19 • ROTOWIRE

Heading back to AHL Commesso was returned to AHL Rockford on Monday.

Impact Commesso was called up by the Blackhawks on Friday but will return to the minors following a brief stint in the NHL, which could signal that Arvid Soderblom (illness) is close to full health. Commesso hasn't yet made his NHL debut but could rejoin Chicago again at some point to provide additional depth.

Rises to NHL Commesso was called up from AHL Rockford on Friday.

Impact Commesso's recall is an interesting one, as Petr Mrazek or Arvid Soderblom may be dealing with some sort of issue, though the team has not revealed anything. The 22-year-old Commesso is considered a potential goalie-of-the-future for the Blackhawks, but he has yet to make his NHL debut and it's unclear if he will during this stint with the big club.

Sent to minors Commesso was assigned to AHL Rockford on Sunday, Charlie Roumeliotis of NBC Sports Chicago reports.

Impact Commesso wasn't particularly effective during his lone preseason start, as he turned aside 35 of 42 shots in a 7-2 loss to Minnesota. He made 38 regular-season appearances for Rockford last year and will return to the minors now that the preseason has concluded. Since Laurent Brossoit (knee) will begin the season on injured reserve, Commesso could be called up if Petr Mrazek or Arvid Soderblom deal with injuries at some point.

Struggles against Wild Commesso stopped 35 of 42 shots in a 7-2 loss to Minnesota on Tuesday.

Impact Not exactly an encouraging showing, but the 22-year-old Commesso has no NHL experience, and the Wild had a significant number of their regulars dressed for this contest. The netminder posted a record of 18-16-4 with a 2.65 GAA and a .906 save percentage across 38 regular-season contests with AHL Rockford in 2023-24. He's expected to open the upcoming campaign in the minors.

Set for preseason start Commesso was the first goalie off the ice at the morning skate, per Charlie Roumeliotis of NBC Sports Chicago, indicating he will guard the road net in Tuesday's preseason contest...

Impact Commesso posted a record of 18-16-4 with a 2.65 GAA and a .906 save percentage in 38 appearances with AHL Rockford during the 2023-24 regular season. The 22-year-old netminder will likely begin the 2024-25 campaign in the minors.
