Good News From Blackhawks' Morning Skate
The Blackhawks have been falling victim to the injury bug often as of late.
Well, it appears help is on its way as Tyler Johnson and Alex Stalock seem to be nearing a return.
Johnson has been out for a while after suffering an awkward lower leg injury due to a collision along the boards.
Stalock has also missed the last few weeks after receiving a blow to the head from the Islanders', Jason Cizikas, which left Stalock with a concussion.
Neither player is expected to return by tomorrow, but the morning skate is definitely a good sign.
In addition to Johnson and Stalock, Sam Lafferty was also seen skating this morning.
Lafferty has been out while dealing with a back injury.
