Blackhawks trade Perlini to Red Wings

The Chicago Blackhawks have traded forward Brendan Perlini to the Detroit Red Wings for defense prospect Alec Regula, the team announced on Monday.

This marks the second time Perlini has been traded in as many years. Last season, the Arizona Coyotes traded him and Dylan Strome to the Blackhawks in exchange for Nick Schmaltz.

Perlini fell out of favor in Chicago. He's played just one game this season and logged under eight minutes.

Perlini, the 12th overall pick in 2014, has recorded 45 goals and 72 points in 200 career NHL games.

Regula was the Red Wings' third-round pick in 2018. The 6-foot-4 blue-liner is currently playing with the OHL's London Knights and has tallied 11 points in 10 games this season.
