Chicago Blackhawks Luke Richardson provides update on acquired Stanley Cup Champion netminder Laurent Brossoit
Blackhawks head coach Luke Richardson addresses media on Wednesday October 30th involving injuries, rumors and lineup decisions
The Chicago Blackhawks are in a tough spot in the Central Division standings, sitting in last place behind the past league-dwelling San Jose Sharks, who earned the first overall pick in MacKlin Celebrini's 2024 NHL entry level draft.
Although the Blackhawks' present is in a much worse state, their future is much brighter with an AHL organization loaded with prospects such as Isaak Philips, Frank Nazar, Artyom Levshunov and many more names such as AJ Spellacy in juniors, seeking their pro careers kicking off next year (2025-26).
Amidst these struggles early on in the regular season, the team continues to have to use youth in fulfilling their game-day lineups due to injuries. Blackhawks head coach Luke Richardson addressed the media, and Chicago Sun-Times reporter Ben Pope relayed the information via X.
Brossoit had knee surgery this past summer following signing a two-year deal with the NHL organization, Arvid Soderblom has since taken over the backup role and has served as a solid backbone to starting goaltender Petr Mrazek.
With injuries looming, the Blackhawks look to stay strong through thick and thin, when they face the second-last team in their division, the San Jose Sharks, on Thursday night for a late night 10:30PM puck drop at the PPL Center in San Jose.
