The Chicago Blackhawks will have plenty of big decisions to make over the offseason, but they’ve already taken care of one of their pending free agents, as they’ve reportedly agreed to terms on an extension with defenseman Jarred Tinordi. 

According to Ben Pope of the Chicago Sun-Times, the new one-year deal will pay Tinordi $1.25 million next season. 

The defenseman was claimed off of waivers by the Blackhawks earlier this year from the New York Rangers, and after a career that has seen him make stops in a slew of NHL cities, he finally found a regular place in their lineup, with two goals and six assists in 44 games. 

Even though he’s finally found a regular role in what is now his seventh NHL stop, the road has been a tough one even this season for Tinordi. 

Earlier this season, Tinordi was forced to miss time after taking a skate blade to the chin during a game, which required somewhere between 50-and-100 stitches.
