There’s a flu bug ripping thru the Blackhawks room right now. Nick Foligno, Ilya Mikheyev and Arvid Söderblom were not at the morning skate on Friday before the Hawks host the Washington Capitals.
So, after watching Blackhawks legend Scott Foster take reps at the morning skate, it makes sense that the Blackhawks would need a viable backup if Söderblom can’t go; the Blackhawks have a back-to-back with a trip to Nashville after the game tonight. They then play again on Monday night.
With that in mind, the Blackhawks calling up goalie Drew Commesso from Rockford felt like a logical — and necessary — move. That has happened.
Of course there will be fans that point out the irony that the Blackhawks traded Laurent Brossoit on Thursday only to need a backup on Friday. You don’t plan trades around a flu bug. Rockford will be okay.
However, Commesso wasn’t the only person brought up from Rockford on Friday afternoon.

— Chicago Blackhawks (@NHLBlackhawks) January 9, 2026Commesso will be sharing a cab to Chicago with defenseman Kevin Korchinski.
The Blackhawks activated Connor Bedard off IR, which gives them 12 healthy forwards (14 total) if Foligno and Mikheyev can’t go. The Blackhawks had six defensemen on the NHL roster after sending Ethan Del Mastro to Rockford earlier this week.
We’ll see if Korchinski draws into the lineup at some point this weekend.
