Alex DeBrincat impressing at Traverse City prospect tournament

There’s one prospect who stands above all the others in the Blackhawks’ organization right now, and that’s Alex DeBrincat. All eyes are on the 19-year-old at the prospect tournament in Traverse City, where he’s looking to show off his game and improve his chances of making the NHL roster for the start of the season.

So far, so good.

DeBrincat by all accounts has impressed in his first couple games in Michigan. He’s scored two goals, including the game-winner on Saturday night against the Red Wings. He’s also dished an assist and even got in a fight, which might be ill-advised given his size but serves as a reminder that this is a kid with some serious edge.
