Blackhawks To Hire Mark Eaton As Coach
The Chicago Blackhawks are expected to return two injured players within the next few days. According to head coach Jeff Blashill (per WGN’s Charlie Roumeliotis), forward Patrick Kane and defenseman Bowen Byram are only a couple of days away from returning.
Blashill added that after practicing on their own yesterday, Kane and Byram practiced with the team this morning in non-contact jerseys. Both players will be happily welcomed back to a Blackhawks club that has struggled mightily this season. Through their first 18 games, Chicago is 4-13-1.
