Teuvo will move to left wing and take over Brandon Saad's spot on the first line to start the 2015-16 season.
The Chicago Blackhawks will open the 2015-16 season with Teuvo Teravainen at left wing next to center Jonathan Toews and right wing Marian Hossa on the team's top line, head coach Joel Quenneville said Monday at the team's practice. He also said that "hopefully" the move will stick all season, which would solidify the Hawks' first line after the departure of Brandon Saad.
Teravainen, 21, emerged as a dynamic scoring option for the Blackhawks late in the 2014-15 season, then played a key role as the team won its third Stanley Cup in six seasons.
