Sights and sounds: Blackhawks make final preparations for Predators

The Blackhawks wrapped up their final full practice Wednesday prior to Game 1 of their Western Conference first-round series against the Nashville Predators.

Here are some sights and sounds from Wednesday:

— Forward Andrew Desjardins and defenseman Michal Rozsival were the lone Blackhawks not to participate in the practice. Desjardins is day to day with a lower-body injury. Rozsival had a procedure done Tuesday to repair facial fractures. Blackhawks coach Joel Quenneville expected Rozsival to be available at some point in the playoffs.

— The Blackhawks had the same lines and defenseman pairings in their last two practices.
