The day we’ve been waiting on since the start of training camp is finally here. The day the Chicago Blackhawks trimmed their roster to the opening night group. And it’s a pretty interesting combination.
Last week, I put together a post with my prediction for the opening night roster, at least from a forwards standpoint. Let’s see what I got right:
— Mark McNeill is out, hitting waivers for clearance to Rockford.
— Andrew Desjardins is not going to play opening night, though not as a healthy scratch. He was placed on injured reserve.
