Blackhawks prospects Victor Ejdsell and Roope Laavainen will be involved in this season’s Champions Hockey League, which begins group play Aug. 29. Goaltender Wouter Peeters could also suit up.
Ejdsell signed a two-year contract with the SHL’s Färjestad BK in May after one full season with the Blackhawks’ AHL affiliate, the Rockford IceHogs. The Blackhawks retained the 24-year-old forward’s NHL rights by giving him a qualifying offer. He scored 12 goals and 29 points in 61 AHL games.
Chicago acquired Ejdsell, first- and fourth-round picks (Nicolas Beaudin and Phillip Kurashev) from the Predators in exchange for Ryan Hartman in February 2018.
