He initially just appeared to be ill but further investigation led the team to believe he has a concussion.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is not the first time in his career Caggiula has had a concussion. Back in February, he missed 13 games after suffering the injury against the <a style=\"font-weight: 400;\" href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonhockey.com\/nhl-teams\/ducks\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Anaheim Ducks<\/a>. With four points so far this season, he was being tested out on Chicago\u2019s top line. Following the injury, Chicago&#8217;s top line should feature <a style=\"font-weight: bold;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.hockey-reference.com\/players\/d\/debrial01.html?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Alex DeBrincat<\/a>, <strong style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.hockey-reference.com\/players\/s\/stromdy01.html?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Dylan Strome<\/a><\/strong>, and star wing, <strong style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.hockey-reference.com\/players\/k\/kanepa01.html?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Patrick Kane<\/a><\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Caggiula is in his fourth NHL season and his second with the Chicago Blackhawks. The young forward was undrafted out of the University of North Dakota. He would eventually sign a two-year entry-level contract with the <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonhockey.com\/nhl-teams\/oilers\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Edmonton Oilers<\/a>. Making his debut in 2016, Caggiula would play in 60 games and score seven goals and 11 assists as a rookie. He continued his tenure in Edmonton for three more seasons, before being traded to Chicago.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Since joining the Blackhawks organization in December of 2018, Caggiula has played in a total of 41 games for Chicago. With 16 points in those 41 games, he has not lived up to the potential shown during his college career. However, he remains an important piece of the offensive group for Chicago.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Other Injury News in Chicago<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Although the injury to Caggiula hurts for the Blackhawks, they have other, more positive news on the injury front. <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.hockey-reference.com\/players\/m\/murphco02.html?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Connor Murphy<\/a><\/strong> is on track to return to the lineup on Saturday, following the re-aggravation of a groin injury near the end of October.
