Blackhawks goaltending prospect Wouter Peeters joined the Guildford Flames in the Elite Ice Hockey League on Tuesday.
Peeters started the season on a tryout contract with Tappara in Liiga, Finland’s top division, but left the club in mid-September after not seeing any playing time. The 2016 third rounder did not participate in Chicago’s development camp this summer.
The 21-year-old posted a .908 save percentage last season 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 6-foot-4, 220-pound netminder dealt with injuries this past season and finished the 2018-19 campaign playing for Belgium in the Division II World Championship tournament.
