The Chicago Blackhawks are showing how meaningless tonight’s game with the Anaheim Ducks will be when it was announced earlier today that Jonathan Toews, Marian Hossa, Duncan Keith, and Niklas Hjalmarsson will all be watching from the pressbox tonight for some much deserved rest before the playoffs begin.
I had been hoping for Coach Joel Quenneville to decide to give some of the veterans the week off especially Hossa, so I was pretty excited reading the update about tonight.
Some other news that was told to everyone today is that Artem Anisimov has been skating and is on schedule to be playing when the playoffs begin next week, but he won’t be on the ice in LA on Saturday night.
