After a long layoff, Madison Bowey is back in the NHL.
Thursday, the former Capitals defenseman signed a two-year contract with the Chicago Blackhawks. The deal is worth $725,000 per season.
The right-handed shooting defenseman was placed on waivers at noon, likely meaning the Blackhawks intend to assign him to their taxi squad or AHL roster if he clears on Friday.
Madison Bowey wasn’t known for laying the lumber in Washington, but Sunday against the Boston Bruins, the Detroit Red Wings’ newest defenseman kabonged Brad Marchand with the hit of the night.
Marchand, who scored his 35th goal of the season in the second period, was tattooed by Bowey at the blue line after making a pass to the wing.
Defenseman Madison Bowey has scored his first goal as a Detroit Red Wing. The 23-year-old was traded in a deal that brought Nick Jensen to DC, and Bowey and a second-round pick heading to Michigan.
Thursday night, wearing #74 in honor of his mentor John Carlson, Bowey scored the first goal of the Wings’ game against the Tampa Bay Lightning.
