We are officially 38 days away from September 28th, which marks the Blackhawks first day back on the ice, in a official NHL pre-season game which will take place against the Hawks rivalry, the Detroit Red Wings. The game will give Blackhawks fans a opportunity to see entirely new faces, from experienced signings like Max Domi to newcomers like Lukas Reichel and others.
Today, we honor the best #38 as we are 38 days away from Hawkey season!! The career summary below is brought to you by NBC Sports Chicago!
No. 38: Ryan Hartman (RW, 2014-18) Selected by the Blackhawks in the first round (No. 30 overall) of the 2013 NHL Draft, Hartman compiled 57 points (27 goals, 30 assists) in 141 regular-season games across four seasons. An Illinois native, Hartman's best season came in 2016-17 when he scored 19 goals and 31 points.
Hartman's third season as a Chicago Blackhawk was his breakout year, the Hawks traded him that same off-season, and now he has found a top line role with the Minnesota Wild after being traded around.
Ryan Hartman is a player the Blackhawks would be super grateful to have at the moment, as the Hawks are partaking in a multi-year rebuild they need a physical and gritty asset to protect our youth. Let's take a look at his times in Chicago, and what he is doing now!
