Moments before puck drop, the Blackhawks announced a three-player move
In preparation for tonight's game against the Edmonton Oilers and Connor McDavid, the Chicago Blackhawks have made some roster moves.
Three roster moves have been made, and some players returning to the lineup are healthy and ready to play.
While there haven't been any major updates on Connor Bedard in a while, Taylor Raddysh and Joey Anderson will be back in action tonight.

Aside from Raddysh and Anderson, Rem Pitlick, who was acquired from the Pittsburgh Penguins for a conditional 7th-round pick in 2026, also draws into the lineup tonight.
For a battered and bruised team in need of healthy bodies, this is welcome news.
Raddysh is a sorely missed forward in the lineup, who missed five games this season and tallied 20 goals in 2022-2023. With the Blackhawks this season, he has five goals and five assists.
After being called up from the AHL Rockford, Anderson has contributed five assists and been a plus-five on ice for the Blackhawks in 13 games.
Pitlick, like Anderson, has recently been playing with the Walkes-Barre Penguins in the AHL, a journeyman and will have a chance to show his best self on ice tonight against the red-hot Edmonton Oilers.
