Slaggert scored a goal and went plus-2 in Wednesday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Devils.
Slaggert was called up earlier in the day and got into the lineup because Andre Burakovsky (illness) wasn't feeling well enough to play. The 23-year-old Slaggert delivered his first point of the season with a third-period tally. The winger has added four shots on net, nine hits, four blocked shots and two PIM over six appearances. He'll be in contention for bottom-six minutes as long as he's on the NHL roster, but it wouldn't be surprising to see him head back to AHL Rockford once the Blackhawks get healthier.

Blackhawks' Landon Slaggert: Being called up Wednesday
Rotowire
Slaggert will be elevated to the NHL roster ahead of Wednesday's clash with the Devils, Scott Powers of The Athletic reports.
Slaggert has zero points in five NHL appearances this year and hasn't performed any better in the AHL, with just one goal in three minor-league tilts. Whether the winger plays against New Jersey on Wednesday will depend on the availability of Andre Burakovsky (undisclosed), who is considered a game-time decision.

Blackhawks' Landon Slaggert: Sent to Rockford
Rotowire
Slaggert was assigned to AHL Rockford on Monday.
Slaggert has made five appearances for Chicago this year, logging no points, eight hits, three blocked shots and two PIM while averaging 9:58 of ice time. He should have more consistent opportunities to get involved in the AHL and will be a candidate to be called back up if the Blackhawks need additional depth.

Blackhawks' Landon Slaggert: Might return this week
Rotowire
Head coach Jeff Blashill relayed Tuesday that Slaggert (lower body) won't play Wednesday in St. Louis but might play Friday against the Canucks, according to Ben Pope of the Chicago Sun-Times.
Slaggert has yet to make his 2025-26 debut, as he was placed on injured reserve Oct. 6 as a result of a lower-body injury. The 23-year-old probably won't be of use to fantasy managers once he's back in the lineup, as his minimal production across the board in 2024-25 could be similar to his output on a lowly Blackhawks squad this season.

Blackhawks' Landon Slaggert: On track for start of season
Rotowire
Slaggert (undisclosed) is set to return to practice Tuesday and is on track to be 100 percent for the regular season opener, Ben Pope of the Chicago Sun-Times reports Sunday.
Slaggert isn't in the lineup for Sunday's preseason game against the Wild, but he's slated to be ready for Opening Night. The 23-year-old is likely to fill a bottom-six role this season following a six-point campaign in 33 outings with Chicago last year.

Blackhawks' Landon Slaggert: Picks up assist
Rotowire
Slaggert notched an assist and two shots on goal in Monday's 4-3 shootout win over the Canadiens.
Slaggert has played in every game since Jan. 28, but he's mainly been limited to bottom-six minutes. He hasn't done much with his time, earning six points, although three of them (all assists) have come over seven contests in April. The 22-year-old has added 34 shots on net, 22 hits, 21 PIM and a minus-6 rating. The Blackhawks have plenty of forward prospects to evaluate in the coming years, so Slaggert's peak may be as a bottom-six forward unless his scoring touch improves.

Blackhawks' Landon Slaggert: Picks up assist in loss
Rotowire
Slaggert recorded an assist, had one shot on goal and was a plus-1 in Wednesday's 4-3 loss to the Senators.
Slaggert picked up his first point in over a month with an assist on Ryan Donato's goal in the first period. After recording two points in his first three games and looking like he could help spark a dormant Chicago offense, the 22-year-old went pointless for nine straight subsequent games. Playing on Chicago's third line and averaging a mere 12:37 of ice time, Slaggert is not worth consideration in most formats.

Blackhawks' Landon Slaggert: Early goal not enough
Rotowire
Slaggert scored a goal on four shots and added four PIM in Saturday's 5-1 loss to the Panthers.
Slaggert's tally seven seconds in is the fastest goal to start a game in Blackhawks franchise history, but that was the only bright spot for the team Saturday. Slaggert and his teammates were unable to solve Sergei Bobrovsky again. The 22-year-old winger has two goals, nine shots on net, two hits, two blocked shots, four PIM and a plus-2 rating over three appearances since his promotion to the NHL last Sunday.

Blackhawks' Landon Slaggert: Nets goal in NHL season debut
Rotowire
Slaggert scored a goal on three shots and went plus-2 in Tuesday's 4-1 win over the Lightning.
Slaggert was scratched versus the Wild on Sunday right after his call-up, but he was in the lineup over Colton Dach on Tuesday. The 22-year-old Slaggert played on the third line and logged 11:30 of ice time. He had four points over 16 NHL outings in 2023-24. He'll be in the mix to pick up minutes that opened up after the Blackhawks traded Taylor Hall to the Hurricanes, but it wouldn't be surprising to see Slaggert sit as a healthy scratch at times.
Slaggert signed a two-year, $1.8 million contract extension with the Blackhawks on Friday.
Slaggert is in the final season of his two-year, entry-level deal, so his newly signed agreement will begin with the 2025-26 campaign. The 22-year-old had 20 goals and 31 points in 36 NCAA outings with Notre Dame as well as a goal and four points in 16 outings with Chicago during the 2023-24 campaign. He has an assist in one appearance with AHL Rockford this season. Slaggert's new contract is a one-way deal, which means he'll earn the same salary regardless of if he plays in the minors or the NHL, suggesting that the Blackhawks see him playing at the top level consistently, starting in 2025-26.

Blackhawks' Landon Slaggert: Provides helper in overtime loss
Rotowire
Slaggert posted an assist in Thursday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Kings.
Slaggert racked up four points over 16 contests in his first taste of NHL action in 2023-24 after four years at Notre Dame. He added 14 shots on net, 16 hits and a plus-1 rating while seeing bottom-six minutes. Slaggert projects as a physical bottom-six forward, so his fantasy utility is likely to be limited for most of his career.

Blackhawks' Landon Slaggert: Grabs first two NHL points
Rotowire
Slaggert recorded a pair of assists in Tuesday's 3-1 win over the Flames.
Playing in his sixth NHL game, Slaggert grabbed his first point with an assist on Jason Dickinson's goal late in the opening period. The 21-year-old Slaggert quickly added a second point with a helper on another Dickinson tally early in the second. Before joining the Blackhawks, Slaggert posted 20 goals and 31 points in 36 appearances with Notre Dame. While Slaggert isn't expected to provide a ton of offense at the professional level, the 2020 third-round pick should bring some physicality to Chicago's bottom six.
