I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again: Chicago Blackhawks coach Joel Quenneville is a mad scientist.
The man loves to mix and match players on his forward lines, and he usually winds up finding four trios that fit his plan and the style of a game he wants to see. What exactly the lines at today’s morning practice mean, then, is up for debate.
Courtesy Chicago Sun-Times writer Mark Lazerus, Q treated us to these lines today:

The first thing fans might notice is Teuvo Teravainen playing at a wing once again.
