We’re through two-thirds of the Chicago Blackhawks’ preseason slate. They’re now 2-2, having lost 4-2 against the Boston Bruins on Monday night. Hopefully no one loses any sleep over that.
Of course, it’s always a good time to project who might make the Blackhawks’ opening night roster out of training camp. Only two exhibition games remain, so the roster cuts will be coming fast and furious in the near future.
The Blackhawks currently hold a roster of 20 forwards, 11 defensemen and four goaltenders. I’m going to mock up this projection under the belief the Blackhawks start the regular season with 23 guys (they really should, unless the salary cap just doesn’t permit it).
