"From the team's release: Rodrigue, 25, appeared in two NHL games with the Edmonton Oilers during the 2024-25 campaign, logging a 0-1-0 record, a 3.10 goals-against average and a .862 save percentage. He also competed in a career-high 41 American Hockey League (AHL) games with the Bakersfield Condors last season, posting an 18-16-8 record, a 3.12 GAA, a .897 SV% and one shutout."
"This deal is necessary because the AHL suspended Stanislav Berezhnoy for 20 games earlier this week. Rodrigue will work with Drew Commesso in Rockford for the rest of the season. It is interesting that the Blackhawks wouldn't just sign someone to an AHL contract, however."
Olivier Rodrigue, 25, signed a one-year, two-way deal with the Chicago Blackhawks for the 2025-26 season carrying a $775,000 NHL cap number. Rodrigue appeared in two NHL games with the Edmonton Oilers in 2024-25 (0-1-0, 3.10 GAA, .862 SV%). He played a career-high 41 AHL games with the Bakersfield Condors last season (18-16-8, 3.12 GAA, .897 SV%, one shutout). The signing fills a roster need after Stanislav Berezhnoy received a 20-game AHL suspension. Rodrigue will join Drew Commesso in Rockford for the remainder of the season. The club opted for an NHL two-way contract rather than an AHL-only deal.
