2020 NHL Draft: Blackhawks plan to look at goaltenders, depth chart more on Day 2

The Blackhawks selected the player they thought was best available to them at No. 17 overall with Eisbaren Berlin left wing Lukas Reichel.

But the team’s draft philosophy will shift slightly Wednesday when they have six picks from rounds 2-6, including two in the third round.

“The organizational depth chart does play into it,” Blackhawks vice president Mark Kelley said Tuesday about the team’s draft plans on Day 2. “[Chicago general manager] Stan [Bowman] and I will have conversations. We’ll certainly be looking at goaltenders. We’ll be cognizant of the depth chart, but still looking at the board for the best player available.
