Blackhawks coach Jeremy Colliton is committed to the line combinations he’s made for his team.
He reinforced his thoughts on it during a passionate press conference after Chicago’s 4-1 loss to the Flyers that could’ve been worse given that two goals were waived off for offside infractions after successful challenges.
Colliton kept the same line combinations from the Blackhawks’ 2-1 shootout loss Tuesday to the Golden Knights for Thursday’s game aside from the defensive pairings with Slater Koekkoek in for Connor Murphy (groin). Chicago went down 2-0 in the opening minute of the game and were outshot 13-1 in the frame.
