BORIS KATCHOUK NEWS

Sent down Monday Katchouk was reassigned to AHL Syracuse on Monday.

Impact Katchouk spent the last few days with the NHL club and made three appearances, recording no points, five hits and two blocked shots while averaging 12:11 of ice time. However, his return to the minors could mean that Anthony Cirelli (upper body) is getting closer to returning after missing the last four games.

Called up from minors Katchouk was elevated from AHL Syracuse on Wednesday.

Impact Katchouk hasn't played in an NHL game since the 2023-24 campaign but could be pressed into service versus the Rangers on Wednesday. Whether the 27-year-old winger gets into the game will likely depend on the health of Anthony Cirelli (upper body) and Pontus Holmberg (undisclosed).

Two points in AHL win Katchouk scored a goal on three shots and added an assist in AHL Syracuse's 5-3 win over Belleville on Sunday.

Impact Katchouk is in his second stint with the Lightning organization, but he missed out on the NHL Opening Night roster. The 27-year-old probably isn't even the top option for a call-up should injuries arise for the Lightning -- Jakob Pelletier offers some skill while Scott Sabourin (suspension) could provide grit once his ban is completed by sitting out games at the NHL level. Katchouk had 13 points over 59 regular-season contests between Chicago and Ottawa in 2023-24, which was his last taste of NHL action.

Impact Katchouk recorded 21 goals and 49 points in 67 regular-season appearances with AHL Wilkes-Barre/Scranton in 2024-25. The 27-year-old forward may spend most of the 2025-26 campaign in the minors, but he will compete for a depth role with the Lightning during training camp.

Gets tryout chance with Anaheim Katchouk signed a professional tryout agreement with the Ducks on Wednesday, Patrick Present of The Hockey News reports.

Impact Katchouk split last year between the Blackhawks and the Senators, collecting 13 points, 70 shots on net and 82 hits over 59 contests. The 26-year-old has spent the bulk of the last three years in the NHL, though the Ducks are unlikely to sign him if it would mean blocking a prospect from moving up. If Katchouk spends 2024-25 with Anaheim, he'll likely play on the fourth line.

Set for free agency Katchouk did not receive a qualifying offer from Ottawa and will become an unrestricted free agent Monday, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports.

Impact Katchouk has bounced around a bit since reaching the NHL level; he's played for three teams in the last three seasons. Last year, he totaled 13 points in 59 games with Chicago and Ottawa. He's scored 36 points in 176 career NHL appearances.

The 25-year-old Katchouk now has six goals and 11 points across 47 games between Ottawa and Chicago this season. While he provides a physical presence, Katchouk isn't likely to offer consistent production offensively in a fourth-line role.

Claimed by Ottawa The Senators have claimed Katchouk off waivers from Chicago on Friday, according to Bruce Garrioch of the Ottawa Sun.

Impact Katchouk has five goals, nine points, 52 shots and 51 hits in 38 outings in 2023-24. The Blackhawks might send Katchouk to the minors if he clears, but it's also possible they only placed him on waivers to provide the team with additional roster flexibility ahead of Friday's trade deadline.

Impact Katchouk found the back of the net midway through the second period to put the Blackhawks up 1-0. It was his fourth marker and seventh point in 24 outings this season. The Blackhawks' forward corps has been devastated by injuries, but Katchouk is still serving primarily on the fourth line and isn't getting regular minutes on the power play, so his offensive upside is minimal.

Garners helper in loss Katchouk earned an assist in Thursday's 4-1 defeat to the Rangers.

Impact This was Katchouk's first point since Nov. 28 against the Kraken, a stretch of 11 games during which he was a healthy scratch six times. With injuries pilling up at forward, Katachouk should continue to see minutes in a bottom-six role but might have to settle for a spot in the press box if the Hawks start to get healthy.

Back with Blackhawks Katchouk was recalled from AHL Rockford on Saturday, per Mark Lazerus of The Athletic.

Impact Katchouk was a healthy scratch for the Hawk's last four games, so his pending demotion to the minors shouldn't come as a surprise. In 17 games this season, the British Columbia native has garnered two goals on 23 shots, two assists and 14 hits while averaging 12:08 of ice time.

The 25-year-old has back-to-back games with goals for the first time in his NHL career. Despite the hot streak, he remains useful only in the deepest of fantasy pools at this juncture.

Earns helper Monday Katchouk notched an assist, two hits and a plus-2 rating in Monday's 4-1 win over the Maple Leafs.

Impact Katchouk helped out on a MacKenzie Entwistle tally in the first period. The Blackhawks have rotated their depth forwards a fair amount so far, but Katchouk has played in all four games.
