Can Blackhawks' Alex DeBrincat break through in Game 3 against the Oilers?

In the Stanley Cup Qualifiers against the Oilers, DeBrincat was held off the scoresheet in Game 1's 6-4 win, but picked up two assists in Game 2's 3-6 loss.

The 22-year-old winger has been on the Hawks' third line for the series against the Oilers with rookie center Kirby Dach. The third combo was without forward Drake Caggiula on Monday, who was suspended for Game 2 after an illegal check to the head of Edmonton forward Tyler Ennis in Game 1.

John Quenneville slotted in for Caggiula in the beginning of Game 2, but Hawks coach Jeremy Colliton had Patrick Kane double shift on the third line for a lot of the game, leaving Quenneville with just 6:04 of ice time for the contest.
