Del Mastro will get a quick cup of coffee in the NHL before he will be sent down to the AHL, to bolster a playoff-ready Rockford IceHogs.
Del Mastro has been one of the Ice Hogs' best players and has been on the top-defensive pair. He has also played in all situations on ice for the team as well.
With the Blackhawks defense looking terrible lately, it seems likely with his recall his debut will be happening against the Nashville Predators.
The Hawks have nothing to lose from calling up Del Mastro and giving him a look, before sending him back to compete in the AHL.
