Last night we got to see Jonathan Toews, Patrick Kane, Alex DeBrincat, Brandon Saad, Nick Schmaltz and more take the ice for the first time this preseason. This preseason game was far more entertaining than the last as we saw legitimate first and second lines take the ice. This was much different than the game before where Artem Anisimov and Marcus Kruger were our top centers.
No. 4) First line looked mediocre
Now I know we’ve all thought this before, but I wasn’t overly impressed by the Toews line. The Chicago Blackhawks have put Jonathan Toews, Alex DeBrincat and Chris Kunitz on the top line together during training camp and this was our first look at them.
