Drew Commesso - NHL News & Rumors

Signs two-year deal Commesso signed a two-year, $1.75 million contract with Chicago on Monday, per PuckPedia.

Impact Commesso has a two-way deal with the Blackhawks for 2026-27, and it becomes a one-way agreement in 2027-28. In three NHL outings with Chicago last year, he posted a 2-1-0 record while allowing only seven goals on 85 shots. Commesso also went 13-20-2 with a 3.08 GAA and a .901 in 37 appearances for AHL Rockford in the 2025-26 regular season. The 23-year-old netminder will probably begin the 2026-27 campaign in the minors.

Returns to minors Commesso was reassigned to AHL Rockford on Wednesday, per Mario Tirabassi of CHGO Sports.

Impact Commesso stopped 23 of 25 shots in a 3-2 overtime victory over Utah on Monday. He improved to 2-1-0 with a 2.31 GAA and a .918 save percentage in three appearances with the Blackhawks in 2025-26. Commesso was with the team because Spencer Knight (illness) was unavailable, but with Knight ready to return for Thursday's rematch against Utah, Commesso is returning to the minors.

Earns OT win Monday Commesso stopped 22 of 24 shots in Monday's 3-2 overtime win over the Mammoth.

Impact Commesso got the start Monday on the second leg of a back-to-back set due to the absence of Spencer Knight (illness), and the 23-year-old stepped up. As long as Knight remains sidelined, Commesso will remain as a backup behind Arvid Soderblom in a best-case scenario. He's not a player worth targeting in most fantasy formats unless you're really short in terms of goaltending depth -- but even in that scenario, he's good only for specific matchups.

Between pipes Monday Commesso will tend the twine at home versus Utah on Monday, Mario Tirabassi of CHGO Sports reports.

Impact Commesso will be making his third appearance in the crease for the Hawks this season, having posted a 1-1-0 record, 2.50 GAA and one shutout in his previous two outings. With Spencer Knight (illness) unavailable, Commesso gets the nod while Arvid Soderblom serves as the backup against the Mammoth.

Set to join NHL club Commesso will be recalled from AHL Rockford ahead of Sunday's road game against Dallas, Mark Lazerus of The Athletic reports.

Impact Due to the absence of Spencer Knight (illness), Commesso will be an option for Sunday's matchup versus the Stars. The 23-year-old Commesso has stopped 55 of the 60 shots he has faced in two NHL outings this season while providing a 1-1-0 record and one shutout.

MARCH 7 • ROTOWIRE

Sent to AHL Commesso was assigned to AHL Rockford on Sunday.

Impact Commesso went 1-1-0 in Chicago's last two games, stopping 55 of 60 shots and posting a 36-save shutout in Saturday's 3-0 win over Nashville. The Blackhawks also returned Stanislav Berezhnoy to the minors, which could bode well for the availability of Spencer Knight (illness) and Arvid Soderblom (illness) ahead of Monday's home matchup against Edmonton.

First win comes via shutout Commesso posted a 36-save shutout in Saturday's 3-0 win over the Predators.

Impact Commesso started for the second day in a row, but he was able to handle the ample traffic the Predators were able to direct to the net. The 23-year-old netminder has allowed five goals on 60 shots over his two outings this season. Commesso will be with the Blackhawks until Spencer Knight and Arvid Soderblom are recovered from the illness that has ravaged Chicago's roster. Commesso's not yet in a position to challenge Soderblom for the backup role, but he has been steady between the pipes for AHL Rockford.

Starting again Saturday Commesso will start on the road versus the Predators on Saturday, Alex Daugherty of The Tennessean reports.

Impact Commesso will get the nod for consecutive games as the Blackhawks appear to still be missing Spencer Knight (illness) and Arvid Soderblom (illness). Commesso allowed five goals on 24 shots Friday versus the Capitals after starting on short notice. Given the likelihood that the team in front of him is far below 100 percent health, Commesso is a risky fantasy option.

Loses season debut Commesso stopped 19 of 24 shots in Friday's 5-1 loss to the Capitals.

Impact Commesso received a tough assignment, filling in for Spencer Knight (illness) and Arvid Soderblom (illness) on short notice. The 23-year-old Commesso wasn't up to the challenge, though the depleted lineup in front of him didn't do any favors. He may be needed to start Saturday in Nashville as well if Knight and Soderblom remain under the weather with the stomach bug that is ravaging the Blackhawks' locker room.

Impact Commesso will make his third NHL appearance and his first in 2025-26 as the Blackhawks deal with an illness going around their locker room. At AHL Rockford this season, Commesso has a 6-11-3 record despite a 2.72 GAA and a .909 save percentage.

Recalled by Chicago Commesso was recalled from AHL Rockford on Friday.

Impact Arvid Soderblom was absent from morning skate ahead of Friday's game against the Capitals due to an illness. While Spencer Knight will operate as the starter against Washington, Commesso's recall signals that Soderblom will likely be inactive, which would put Commesso in line to operate as the backup. If Soderblom is forced to miss additional time, Commesso could start in Nashville on Saturday in the second half of a back-to-back set.
