Ready for the memories to come flooding back? No? Too bad, they probably will anyway when the Chicago Blackhawks host the Dallas Stars in the preseason finale for both clubs. Puck drop at the United Center is slated for 7:30 p.m., and the game can be seen on Comcast Plus for those in or near the Chicagoland area. It can also be heard on WGN 720-AM.
With the rosters for both teams rounding into form, we’re getting to the point where we’ll be looking at the projected lines instead of a list of participating players. Here are the Blackhawks’ lines from their morning skate, courtesy several beat writers:
Andrew Shaw–Jonathan Toews–Marian Hossa
Artemi Panarin-Artem Anisimov–Patrick Kane
Bryan Bickell–Teuvo Teravainen–Ryan Garbutt
Andrew Desjardins–Marcus Kruger–Kyle Baun
I haven’t seen defensive pairings anywhere from the morning skate, but Duncan Keith, Niklas Hjalmarsson, David Rundblad, Trevor Daley, Brent Seabrook, Trevor van Riemsdyk and Viktor Svedberg could all play.
