CHICAGO - Kimmo Timonen will play for the Chicago Blackhawks in Game 4 of the Stanley Cup final.
The veteran defenceman hasn't played since Game 5 of the Western Conference final.
The 40-year-old Timonen is in his final NHL season.
Coach Joel Quenneville said defenceman Johnny Oduya is "likely in" after suffering an upper-body injury against the Lightning in Game 3 Monday.
Timonen could replace Kyle Cumiskey on Chicago's blue-line.
