The Chicago Blackhawks host the Colorado Avalanche tonight and head coach Jeremy Colliton made some surprising lineup changes. While many were shocked that Alexander Nylander is on the second line tonight, it's a change on the blue line that has people talking. Duncan Keith returns from injury tonight and Colliton decided to make Brent Seabrook a healthy scratch.Colliton has decided to keep Dennis Gilbert and Adam Boqvist in the lineup instead of Seabrook."Obviously we've got to find a spot for Dunc and we have some young players who've played well. With where we are, we can't expect to make improvements, turn this thing around, if we don't give opportunity to young players. "We do feel that both Boqvist and Gilbert have earned the chance to continue to take steps forward. So they need opportunity to do it."This is absolutely great to hear and hopefully Boqvist sticks in the lineup.
