The Chicago Blackhawks are have barely won two straight games against some pretty weak opponents, and tonight is a golden opportunity for a 3 game winning streak against a beat up Panthers team playing on back to back games.
There was a pretty big change at practice on Monday when Joel Quenneville decided to put Richard Panik on the outside looking in to the top 4 lines.
Blackhawks lines:
Saad-Toews-DeBrincat
Schmaltz-Anisimov-Kane
Sharp-Hinostroza-Hartman
Bouma-Wingels-Hayden (with Panik rotating in on either wing)Keith-Oesterle
Murphy-Seabrook
Forsling-Rutta
Kempny-Franson— Mark Lazerus (@MarkLazerus) December 11, 2017
Panik hasn’t scored in 21 straight games which is totally unacceptable for a guy that has been playing on the top line for the Chicago Blackhawks.
