Blackhawks scratch Janmark for Saturday’s game due to ‘organizational decision

One of the Blackhawks’ potential trade pieces will not be on the ice Saturday night, raising speculation that he may not be with the team much longer.

Forward Mattias Janmark was announced as a healthy scratch by coach Jeremy Colliton following Saturday’s morning skate, citing an “organizational decision” to remove him from the lineup.

Janmark makes sense as one of Chicago’s top trade targets, considering his veteran experience and expiring contract.
