Let’s Jump right into it with the tweet sent out from Mark Lazerus of the Chicago Sun-Times with the lines at this morning’s practice. You can tell that Coach Q is starting to get a little rattled because the Hawks would never have a practice after a game in years past. Anyways here are the lines.
New-look Blackhawks lineup:
Saad-Toews-Duclair
Sharp-Schmaltz-Kane
DeBrincat-Anisimov-Hartman
Jurco-Kampf-HinostrozaKeith-Oesterle
Gustafsson-Seabrook
Kempny-Murphy
Forsling-Rutta(I’m guessing Forsling and Rutta are out tomorrow after last night’s performance.)

The Top line I don’t like because of the simple fact that Vinnie Hinostroza was being highly productive with Jonathan Toews and Brandon Saad.
