The Chicago Blackhawks are eagerly awaiting the return of Connor Bedard from injury, and on Wednesday, they made a roster move by placing one of their own on waivers.
Pitlick, hailing from Ottawa, has had a whirlwind year. He was traded to the Pittsburgh Penguins from Montreal last summer before being dealt to Chicago in early January.
In nine games with the Blackhawks this season, Pitlick has yet to tally a point, accruing two penalty minutes and posting a minus-seven rating.
