Former Rensselaer standout Brandon Pirri is expected to make his National Hockey League debut on Saturday night when the Chicago Blackhawks host the Detroit Red Wings. The game will be aired on the NHL Network (7:30pm). Pirri spent last year at RPI, tallying 11 goals and 32 assists for 43 points before signing a three-year deal with the Blackhawks in August. He was first on the Engineers in assists and second in points as a freshman.
