A few quick items as the Chicago Blackhawks prepare to host the St. Louis Blues on Thursday night at the United Center.
First, it appears as if the Blackhawks will be going back to a more traditional lineup after running out 11 forwards and 7 defensemen against the Vancouver Canucks on Tuesday:
Blackhawks lineup: Back to 12F/6D. Austin Wagner will make his season debut, having recovered from his infected hand injury. Khaira is also back in.
Seth Jones is sick but expected to play tonight.
