Chicago Blackhawks Complete Surprising Lineup Move Hours Before Faceoff vs Minnesota Wild
The Chicago Blackhawks face off today against the Minnesota Wild, new lineup changes get addressed before faceoff
Brothers will face off against each other with Marcus and Nick Foligno going head-to-head.
Ben Pope of the CST released the practice lines, as the Hawks will look considerably different. Nick Foligno gets a big promotion to the second line alongside Frank Nazar and Ryan Donato, following a big game from Donato against his former team- the Calgary Flames.
During the Blackhawks' 6-4 loss against the Calgary Flames, Anders Sorensen made these adjustments.
I think we'll all take that. It'll be interesting to see if Hall, Bedard, and Bertuzzi can repeat: they haven't played much together before, just a bit over 40 minutes before and not many games consecutively, but their shot stats were good: 59.09 percent of the shot attempts and 53.96 percent of the expected goals.
With high expectations, against a Minnesota Wild team who has lost four in a row, including a 5-0 blowout loss against the Winnipeg Jets, the Blackhawks are my non-bias choice to win tonight's matchup as they have nothing to lose, as well as they tend to play better vs higher up teams.
