Katchouk scored a goal on two shots, added three hits and went plus-2 in Wednesday's 5-4 loss to the Oilers.
EDGE Analysis
Katchouk's first goal of the season was all luck -- he was struck by a Jack Johnson shot and the puck went into the net. This was Katchouk's first point in 12 contests since he recovered from a sprained ankle suffered in the preseason. The 24-year-old is unlikely to see more than a bottom-six role even on a struggling Chicago team. He's added 27 hits, 10 shots, six PIM and a minus-1 rating this year.

Katchouk was injured in Saturday's preseason game versus the Red Wings, and he will be evaluated Sunday, Ben Pope of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
It's unclear what kind of injury Katchouk is dealing with, though more information could surface once his evaluation is complete. The 24-year-old winger figures to compete for a bottom-six role with the Blackhawks throughout the year. He likely won't play Sunday versus the Wild.

Katchouk scored a goal on two shots and added two hits in Sunday's 6-4 loss to the Blackhawks.
EDGE Analysis
Katchouk buried a pass from Erik Gustafsson at 9:11 of the second period. The 23-year-old Katchouk had gone 10 games without a point to open his Blackhawks career after he was part of the return from the Lightning in the Brandon Hagel trade. In a fourth-line role through 49 games with both teams, Katchouk has seven points, 47 shots on net, 119 hits and 25 PIM.

Katchouk was traded to the Blackhawks along with Taylor Raddysh, a 2023 first-round pick and a 2024 first-round pick in exchange for Brandon Hagel, a 2022 fourth-round pick and a 2024 fourth-round pick on Friday, Scott Powers of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Katchouk has served as a rotational, bottom-six option for the Lightning this season, picking up six points while averaging 9:49 of ice time through 38 appearances. He'll likely fill a similar role with the Blackhawks down the stretch.

Katchouk (not injury related) was recalled from his conditioning assignment Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Even with his return from the minors, Katchouk is far from a lock for the lineup heading into Wednesday's matchup with Seattle. If he does play, the 23-year-old winger will be hard-pressed to offer much in the way of fantasy value considering he is averaging just 9:48 of ice time in 37 appearances this year.
