The Blackhawks reassigned Fortin to AHL Rockford on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Fortin has been a healthy scratch for three of the Blackhawks' last seven games, and he only averaged 9:22 of ice time in the four contests he appeared in over that span, so this move doesn't come as a surprise. Chicago recalled Dylan Sikura in a corresponding move Wednesday, so Fortin will remain in the minors for the foreseeable future.

Fortin had an assist during Saturday's 5-3 loss to Calgary.

EDGE Analysis

Fortin provided the helper on one of Chicago's three goals on the evening. It was the second assist of the season for Fortin as the winger now has four points through 12 games on the campaign.

Fortin was called up by the Blackhawks on Tuesday, Scott Powers of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

With Andreas Martinsen nursing a back injury, Chicago needed to fortify its wing position and elected to call up Fortin as a means to do so. The 21-year-old is pointless in two minor-league games -- coming off a campaign that saw him record 21 points in 53 AHL contests. He isn't worthy of fantasy consideration.

Fortin (abdomen) is listed on the Blackhawks' training camp roster ahead of the 2017-18 campaign.

EDGE Analysis

Fortin underwent sports-hernia surgery in June, but he was always expected to be 100 percent healthy for training camp. The 20-year-old forward was a point-per-game producer in the QMJHL last season, racking up 52 points (22 goals, 30 assists) in 52 games with the Rouyn-Noranda Huskies. He'll get a chance to compete for an Opening Night roster spot with the big club in camp, but he'll likely spend the majority of the 2017-18 campaign in the AHL.

Fortin, who is three weeks removed from sports-hernia surgery, hopes to be 100 percent healthy by training camp, Mark Lazerus of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

Fortin is only participating in the off-ice portion of this year's prospect camp to avoid sustaining any setbacks in his recovery, but the 20-year-old forward should be ready to return to the ice once the Blackhawks' training camp gets underway in September. The 6-foot winger will get an opportunity to compete for an Opening Night roster spot in training camp, but he'll likely start the season with AHL Rockford and remain in the minors for the majority of the 2017-18 campaign.

Fortin registered a goal and a power-play assist in Tuesday's 6-1 exhibition win over the Red Wings.

EDGE Analysis

Fortin thrived in Chicago's prospect camp this summer and was rewarded with a three-year, entry-level contract late in September. The 19-year-old seems to be playing with a chip on his shoulder, having been overlooked in the NHL draft twice. Fortin certainly has his work cut out for him in his quest to crack the Opening Night roster, but performances like Tuesday's can only expedite his development.

Fortin signed a three-year contract with the Blackhawks on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Fortin spent the 2015-16 campaign with the Rouyn-Noranda Huskies of the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League, where he finished the year with 19 goals and 24 assists over 54 games. The 19-year-old forward was with the Blackhawks for their prospect camp back in July and had an impressive showing, which now lands him a three-year deal. He should be considered a developmental project for the Blackhawks and is a long shot to be significant contributor in his first season at the NHL level.
