Just two more games in the Chicago Blackhawks' preseason, the first coming Thursday night against the St. Louis Blues at Scottrade Center. The final road exhibition of the season for the Hawks unsurprisingly comes with a prospect-laden roster as the big names get a little more rest before the real grind begins.
Ville Pokka and Brandon Mashinter were called up from Rockford earlier on Thursday to fill roster spots, an early indication that the team wouldn't be icing most of its key players. The roster released for the game includes Marko Dano, Andrew Shaw, Trevor Daley, Bryan Bickell and Andrew Desjardins, but also has several players who won't be around in a week.
