A few bits of notes, news, and musings ahead of the Chicago Blackhawks’ game against the St. Louis Blues Saturday at the Enterprise Center.
In net for the Blackhawks, goalie prospect Jaxson Stauber will be making his NHL debut on Saturday. Alex Stalock is still in concussion protocol and Petr Mrázek has had four straight starts, so Strauber getting the nod Saturday is not unexpected.
Strauber had a rocky start in Rockford, where he couldn’t get much consistent playing time due to injuries, but he was performing well before his call-up to Chicago.
