Joel Nystrom News: Sent to AHL

Updated on January 9, 2026 at 6:10pm

Nystrom was reassigned to AHL Chicago on Friday.

Nystrom looks to be the odd-man out with the pending return of Jaccob Slavin (upper body). Nystrom has played 33 games at the NHL level this season, notching eight assists, 21 blocked shots and 38 shots on goal.
