Connor Bedard will become the first — and maybe last? — player in Blackhawks history to wear No. 98 this season. When Patrick Kane departed before the trade deadline last year, he left as likely the only player to ever wear No. 88 for the organization.
Which got me thinking… how many numbers have only been worn by a single player in the history of the Chicago Blackhawks?
There are 15 jersey numbers that have only been issued once. One of them is already retired. Marian Hossa is the only player to ever wear No. 81. But what other numbers have only been handed out a single time thus far?
61 — Riley Stillman (2021-22)
63 — Carl Dahlström (2018-19)
65 — Andrew Shaw (2012-21)
73 — Brandon Pirri (2021)
74 — Nicolas Beaudin (2020-22)
75 — Alec Regula (2020-23)
76 — Jakub Galvas (2022)
79 — Kurtis Gabriel (2022)
84 — Alexandre Fortin (2019)
85 — Rostislav Olesz (2012)
89 — Andreas Athanasiou (2022-present)
93 — Doug Gilmour (1999-2000)
95 — Dylan Sikura (218-20)
