The 23-year-old currently has four goals and eight points in 19 games while also sporting a 44.6 faceoff percentage. That isn&#8217;t especially good, but it&#8217;s important to note that Strome had the second-most faceoff wins and was second in percentage of any skater with at least 100 draws. He was also averaging almost 3:39 per game with the power-play unit. It was shaping up to be a fine year for the young skater when you consider how thin Chicago&#8217;s depth chart is.<\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/hockey\/category\/coyotes\/\" target=\"_self\">Arizona Coyotes<\/a> originally drafted Strome third overall in the 2015 draft but traded him after several seasons to Chicago in exchange for <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hockey-reference.com\/players\/s\/schmani01.html?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Nick Schmaltz<\/a><\/strong>. Strome has had an uneven career but does have one very good season under his belt. He scored 20 goals and 57 points in 78 games in 2018-19. Most of that came after the trade to the Blackhawks. Overall, Strome has 40 goals and 113 points in 183 games.<\/p>\n<h3>How Chicago Replaces Strome<\/h3>\n<p>[pickup_prop id=&#8221;4508&#8243;]<\/p>\n<p>Forward depth is getting very unsettling for Chicago fans.

The team has a handful of other forwards on injured reserve as well including <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hockey-reference.com\/players\/t\/toewsjo01.html?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Jonathan Toews<\/a><\/strong>, who may not skate at all in 2020-21. The Blackhawks are doing very well in the Central Division this year, but they are relying on a roster with multiple rookies and very few proven veterans. It&#8217;s not an ideal situation when there are very few opportunities to rest and heal during a 56-game sprint.<\/p>\n<p>Main Photo:<\/p>\n<p><a id=\"QNlZCFXQSRN7Z4asiBLTQA\" class=\"gie-single\" style=\"color: #a7a7a7; text-decoration: none; font-weight: normal !important; border: none; display: inline-block;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.gettyimages.ca\/detail\/1299472539\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Embed from Getty Images<\/a><script>window.gie=window.gie||function(c){(gie.q=gie.q||[]).push(c)};gie(function(){gie.widgets.load({id:'QNlZCFXQSRN7Z4asiBLTQA',sig:'hpd6yXFmneD5lpzM23UndZIJBuvTkgwOwrRL8xMx_Pw=',w:'594px',h:'396px',items:'1299472539',caption: true ,tld:'ca',is360: false })});<\/script><script src='\/\/embed-cdn.gettyimages.com\/widgets.js' charset='utf-8' async><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The injuries keep piling up for the Chicago Blackhawks.
