Del Mastro was named to the AHL All-Star Game earlier in the season, and deservedly so. Now, the Blackhawks have rewarded the 6-foot-4, 205-pound defenseman with a call-up.
Del Mastro, who's listed at 6-foot-4, 205 pounds, was selected by Chicago in the fourth round (No. 105 overall) of the 2021 NHL Draft.
