Brett Seney recalled by the Chicago Blachawks

Former Merrimack forward Brett Seney is headed back to the NHL.

Seney, 26, was called up by the Chicago Blackhawks on Wednesday. The move comes after the team played Jujhar Khaira and MacKenzie Entwistle on IR.

At the time of the call-up, Seney was second in the AHL in scoring with 38 points (14g, 24a) in 32 games. Seney has appeared in 55 NHL games over his career and he has 13 points (5g, 8a). He last played in the NHL last season for the Toronto Maple Leafs.

Seney will become the third former Merrimack player to play in the NHL this season, along with Johnathan Kovacevic (Montreal) and Collin Delia (Vancouver). All three players were teammates in 2016-17.

The Blackhawks will play next on Friday night at home against the Arizona Coyotes.
