The Chicago Blackhawks have re-signed Trevor van Riemsdyk to a two-year contract worth $1.65 million.

The 23-year-old defenceman recorded one assist in 18 games with the Blackhawks last season and also appeared in four playoff games.

Van Riemsdyk battled through several injuries this past season including a fractured patella in November as well as surgery on his wrist in April. He returned to play Game 3 of the Stanley Cup Final on June 8.
