The Blackhawks could have done without the final period of their preseason.
Within the final 20 minutes of the 360 played in the preseason, the Blackhawks watched as one of their top forwards in Jonathan Toews and one of their top defensemen in Connor Murphy had leave the game due to injuries on Saturday.
Toews suffered an apparent leg injury when he was struck by a puck at the net early in the third period against the Boston Bruins. He returned to the game for four more shifts and then sat out the final 6:51 of the game.
