Some news and notes from Saturday afternoon ahead of the game this evening between the Chicago Blackhawks and the San Jose Sharks.
As widely reported all day, Patrick Kane is out of the lineup for roster management reasons. Coach Luke Richardson confirmed that Kane has flown back home to Chicago. Kane’s not the only one being held out of the lineup, either:
#Blackhawks confirm Patrick Kane and Sam Lafferty will not play tonight in San Jose for roster management reasons.

While it has been made public that Kane is back in Chicago for a “period of reflection”, their is no other news on his current status at this time.
