The Blackhawks have agreed to a one-year contract with forward Joakim Nordstrom, the team announced Wednesday. Nordstrom's two-way deal reportedly carries a $605,000 cap hit for the Blackhawks.
Nordstrom, 23, registered three assists in 38 regular season games last season, where he helped contribute on the Blackhawks' penalty kill.
He also appeared in three postseason contests during last year's Stanley Cup run.
