— Chicago Blackhawks (@NHLBlackhawks) April 1, 2026Gajan, 21, was selected by the Blackhawks in the second round (No. 35 overall) of the 2023 NHL Draft. After a rough first collegiate season at Minnesota-Duluth that saw him spend a big portion of the season injured, he bounced back with a strong sophomore campaign.
Not only did he post career highs in games played (33), wins (19), save percentage (.908), goals-against average (2.25) and shutouts (2), but he also represented Slovakia in the Winter Olympics and was a member of the US College Selects team at the Spengler Cup.
With this news, one does wonder about the Blackhawks’ plans in net. Drew Commesso is still in need of a new contract this summer; he’s a pending restricted free agent. Arvid Söderblom is signed thru next year, as is Stanislav Berezhnoy — who is currently suspended for PEDs.
