Blackhawks goalie prospect Wouter Peeters joined Tappara in Liiga, Finland’s top division, on a tryout agreement Wednesday.
Peeters, who turns 21 in July, posted a .908 save percentage in eight games for JHT in Suomi-sarja, Finland’s third division, after a three-game stint with the Lincoln Stars in the USHL. The 2016 third-round pick dealt with injuries this past season and finished the 2018-19 campaign playing for Belgium in the Division II World Championship tournament.
The only other goaltender listed on Tappara’s roster is 22-year-old Christian Heljanko, who had a .903 save percentage in 47 Liiga games with the club last season as they finished third in the playoffs.
