Although he\u2019s a year removed from playing with the team, there\u2019s some speculation that defenseman Jarred Tinordi<\/a> could return to the Chicago Blackhawks this fall on a professional tryout agreement. According to Charlie Roumeliotis of WGN Radio<\/a>, Tinordi was on the ice before the first day of Chicago\u2019s rookie camp in full team equipment.<\/p>\n

Tinordi played for the Blackhawks from 2022 to 2024, primarily as a spot defenseman during the team\u2019s ongoing rebuild, which involved phasing in young talent. Throughout two years with Chicago, Tinordi scored two goals and 17 points in 96 games with a -44 rating, averaging 16:01 of ice time per night. He provided some value with his ability to block shots and his physicality, but his spot on the roster became void as the Blackhawks continued to graduate their prospects.<\/p>\n

Failing to find another opportunity at the NHL level, the former first-round pick spent the season with the AHL\u2019s Calgary Wranglers, affiliated with the Calgary Flames. In his first AHL action in two years, Tinordi recorded one goal and five points in 30 games with a +5 rating.<\/p>\n

Other notes from rookie camp:<\/p>\n

A few days ago, it was reported<\/a> that Jett Luchanko<\/a>, who\u2019s been recovering from a groin injury throughout the summer, may miss a few days of the Philadelphia Flyers\u2019 rookie camp as he continues to rehab. Charlie O\u2019Connor of PHLY Sports reported earlier<\/a> that Luchanko was not on the ice for the first day of Flyers\u2019 rookie camp, but that isn\u2019t expected to last much longer. Sharing an update from General Manager Daniel Bri\u00e8re<\/a>, Kevin Kurz of The Athletic reported<\/a> that Luchanko\u2019s absence today was purely precautionary, and even if he can\u2019t participate in rookie camp, he\u2019ll be a full attendee at training camp.
\nIn an unfortunate incident at the Nashville Predators\u2019 rookie camp, prospect defenseman Tanner Molendyk<\/a> left the ice and didn\u2019t return partway through practice. Alex Daugherty of The Tennessean reported<\/a> that Molendyk ran into the open stanchion after delivering a hit and left after spending some time on the bench. Daugherty cautioned that Molendyk\u2019s departure from practice is likely precautionary, but it\u2019s a situation worth monitoring since Molendyk is one of Nashville\u2019s top prospects.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Although he\u2019s a year removed from playing with the team, there\u2019s some speculation that defenseman Jarred Tinordi could…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":136744,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[433],"tags":[49,48,756,5718,74217,74218,760,448,752,82,74219],"class_list":{"0":"post-136743","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-nhl","8":"tag-ca","9":"tag-canada","10":"tag-chicago-blackhawks","11":"tag-injury","12":"tag-jarred-tinordi","13":"tag-jett-luchanko","14":"tag-nashville-predators","15":"tag-nhl","16":"tag-philadelphia-flyers","17":"tag-sports","18":"tag-tanner-molendyk"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/136743","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=136743"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/136743\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/136744"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=136743"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=136743"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=136743"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
