Boston University G Commesso gets 3-year deal from Blackhawks

CHICAGO -- The Chicago Blackhawks have agreed to a three-year contract with goaltender Drew Commesso.

The team announced the entry-level deal on Tuesday. It runs through the 2025-26 season and carries a $925,000 salary-cap hit.

The 20-year-old Commesso was selected by Chicago in the second round of the 2020 draft. He appeared in 34 games with Boston University this season, going 24-8-0 with a 2.46 goals-against average and a .913 save percentage.

Commesso led the Terriers to the Frozen Four last week, before bowing out against Minnesota in the national semifinals.

He joins a host of players from the Frozen Four participants to sign with NHL clubs this week, including Luke Hughes, a defenseman who played at Michigan and debuted for the New Jersey Devils Tuesday night, and forward Matthew Knies, who played for the Gophers before debuting with the Toronto Maple Leafs on Monday night.
