Head Coach Luke Richardson of the Chicago Blackhawks, has decided to be bold as the season ends.
With Nick Foligno absent from practice today, this gave Richardson a bit of creative freedom.
The Blackhawks decided to try new lines today, as he assembled a killer line, as Lukas Reichel and Philipp Kurashev are on the wings of Connor Bedard.
Blackhawks lines in practice:
Reichel-Bedard-Kurashev
TJohnson-Athanasiou-Raddysh*
Blackwell-Dickinson-Anderson
Donato-Entwistle-Slaggert
(*Foligno absent today)
Vlasic-Jones
Korchinski-Megna
Tinordi-Zaitsev

This could be an offensive Cerberus, if Reichel continues the play he has shown in the past few weeks, cutting through defenses and making skilled passes, like Andreas Athansiou's goal against the Stars recently.

Experimentation is good and letting Reichel build his confidence on Bedard's line could prove to be a good move, should he continue to develop how the team likes.
It's a bold move and suggests Richardson believes in Reichel's game right now.
