Duncan Keith will play and Corey Crawford will start when the Blackhawks host the Los Angeles Kings on Monday night.
Keith did not practice on Sunday but coach Joel Quenneville said the defenseman is fine. Michal Rozsival (lower body) also did not practice. Quenneville said he’s not ruling out Rozsival possibly playing against the Kings.
Andrew Desjardins was back on the third line and Dale Weise was on the fourth line again during Sunday’s practice. Brandon Mashinter, who did not play on Friday due to illness, was also on the fourth line.
The Blackhawks, who have 88 points, are in third place in the Central Division entering Monday’s game.
