Blackhawks' Wyatt Kaiser: Scores first career NHL goal Sunday
Rotowire
Kaiser potted his first career NHL goal in Sunday's 6-2 loss to the Rangers.
It took 71 NHL games, but Kaiser finally got his first marker after being set up by Frank Nazar late in the second period. Kaiser has points in back-to-back games after not being in the lineup for Chicago's prior five contests. The 22-year-old could be sent to AHL Rockford when Alec Martinez (neck) and Connor Murphy (groin) are ready to return, but Kaiser is skating alongside Seth Jones on the top pairing in the meantime. Through 30 appearances in 2024-25, Kaiser has contributed one goal and two helpers while averaging 17:37 of ice time.
