EDGE Analysis

Sanford is likely to be recalled before Saturday's game against Washington. He has three assists in 16 appearances with the Blackhawks in 2023-24.

Sanford is still with the Blackhawks despite being waived by the team Feb. 20, Ben Pope of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

Sanford was designated for waivers by the Blackhawks on Tuesday, Chris Johnston of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Sanford was previously claimed off waivers by Chicago in early January and now finds himself back on the wire. With 331 games of NHL experience and a Stanley Cup ring, the veteran winger could draw plenty of interest from around the league, including with his former club Arizona. If he clears, Sanford should end up in the minors with AHL Rockford.

Chicago claimed Sanford off waivers from Arizona on Saturday, Chris Johnston of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Blackhawks added Connor Bedard (fractured jaw) and Nick Foligno (fractured finger) to a lengthy injury list following Friday's 4-2 loss to New Jersey. As a result, Sanford could make his Chicago debut as early as Sunday's contest versus Calgary. He has two assists, nine shots on goal and eight blocked shots in 11 NHL outings this season.

Sanford was placed on waivers Friday, according to Craig Morgan of PHNX Sports.

EDGE Analysis

Sanford has two assists, four hits and eight blocks in 11 contests with Arizona this season. If he clears waivers, the 29-year-old will presumably return to AHL Tucson where he's contributed a goal and four points in 16 appearances.

Sanford logged an assist in Tuesday's 4-3 win over the Senators.

EDGE Analysis

Sanford has two helpers over five appearances this season. This was his fourth straight game in the lineup, and with news of Travis Boyd (pectoral) being out for the year and Barrett Hayton (hand) unlikely to return before February, Sanford could stick around the NHL a bit longer. The veteran winger is unlikely to see more than bottom-six usage, so he won't be a fantasy option for most managers.
