EDGE Analysis

Pitlick has played in just one of Chicago's last five contests and saw just 9:24 of ice time in that lone appearance. The decision to waive Pitlick and move him to the minors could be an indication that one of the club's injured forwards is ready to come off injured reserve, perhaps Anthony Beauvillier (wrist), who has been practicing with the team recently.

Chicago acquired Pitlick from Pittsburgh on Saturday in exchange for a conditional 2026 seventh-round draft pick.

EDGE Analysis

Pitlick has eight goals and 24 points in 32 games with AHL Wilkes-Barre/Scranton this season. He should get a chance to make his Chicago debut soon following injuries to Connor Bedard (fractured jaw) and Nick Foligno (fractured finger) in Friday's 4-2 loss to New Jersey.

EDGE Analysis

Pitlick finished the scoring on a wild night in Sunrise (Fla.). He one-timed a feed from Mike Matheson for his fifth goal (first on the power play) and has four points over the last five games. Montreal has several injured forwards, including veterans, in various stages of rehab. In theory, any one of them could return and bump Pitlick from the lineup, but with nothing left to play for this season, the organization may opt to keep the 25-year-old employed at the NHL-level.
