Drew Commesso has earned some praise
With the 46th overall pick of the 2020 NHL Entry Draft, the Chicago Blackhawks selected goalie Drew Commesso. Since then, the 23-year-old goaltender has been showing promise with his development.
Due to this, Commesso has now earned some praise. This is because the Blackhawks’ young netminder made Scott Wheeler’s top 20 NHL goalie prospect rankings for The Athletic.
Commesso just made the cut, as he was given the No. 20 spot. When noting that he played well last season with Chicago when given the chance, it makes sense that he was featured on Wheeler’s rankings

Commesso appeared in a career-high three games with the Blackhawks last season, where he posted a 2-1 record, a 2.31 goals-against average, and a .918 save percentage. He also most notably put together an impressive 36-save shutout against the Nashville Predators on Jan. 10. With this, the Norwell, Massachusetts left a strong impression in his limited appearances with the Blackhawks last year.
Down in the AHL with the Rockford IceHogs last season, Commesso had a .901 save percentage and a 3.08 goals-against average in 37 appearances. This was after he had an 18-15-6 record, a .911 save percentage, and a 2.54 goals-against average in 39 games for Rockford in 2024-25.
With how Commesso has played, it is fair to wonder if he could earn a spot on the Blackhawks’ roster in the near future. Blackhawks backup goalie Arvid Soderblom is entering the final season of his contract in 2026-27, after all.
