The Chicago Blackhawks will get the season debut of Oliver Moore, the 19th overall pick in the 2023 NHL Entry Draft, after the injury to forward Jason Dickinson.

When the Chicago Blackhawks play the Seattle Kraken later tonight, they won't have Jason Dickinson in the lineup after he was recently placed on injured reserve.
But they will have rookie forward Oliver Moore, who they took with the 19th overall pick in the 2023 NHL Entry Draft, 18 spots after they took Connor Bedard with the 1st overall pick.
Per an update from Blackhawks analyst Ben Pope in Seattle:
Oliver Moore will play tonight for the Blackhawks, Jeff Blashill said.

Arvid Soderblom is in the starter's crease at morning skate.

Jason Dickinson, who was placed on IR, has flown back to Chicago to rehab. Blashill said he's now considered week-to-week.
The Blackhawks themselves also confirmed that Moore had been called up:
So far in nine games with the Rockford IceHogs, Moore has 9 points (6G, 3A).

Oliver Moore Is Focused On Being The Best Version Of Himself

Moore has shown that he has the right attitude about everything, saying that his goal is just to be the best version of himself.
I think I just try to control what I can. My goal right now isn't to be on the Chicago Blackhawks; it's to become the best version of myself possible. I think if every day I can do that, continue to work on my game and the results, everything will come. But I think they are coming, and we're winning a lot of games down here. And that's really also what I'm focused on, is just trying to be a winning hockey team and then do everything I can to help them win.

It will be a special night for him and his family as he makes his NHL debut in Seattle later tonight.
