Brandon Mashinter is out and Corey Crawford will start when the Blackhawks host the Detroit Red Wings at the United Center this afternoon.
Mashinter (illness) did not practice with the Blackhawks on Saturday. If the fourth line during Saturday’s practice was an indication of today’s game, Richard Panik will take Mashinter’s spot at left wing, with Dennis Rasmussen and Dale Weise completing the line.
Michal Roszival will also be back in the lineup today against the Red Wings.
The Blackhawks are coming off a 4-2 loss to the BostonBruins on Thursday night; they beat the Red Wings 5-2 in Detroit the previous night.
