Rookie defenseman Henri Jokiharju will miss his first NHL game as a healthy scratch Friday when the Blackhawks visit the Lightning at Amalie Arena in Tampa, Florida.
Colliton on Jokiharju being scratched: I think 1st-year pro, there's going to be ebbs & flows in your game. We want to get him back to his highest level. I think he's got more to give us, but certainly we really believe in him, think he can be a big part of what we're doing here.
