"It's a huge test for the Chicago Blackhawks tonight as they return home to the United Center. The team is trying to bounce back after four straight losses to two of the divisions top teams, the Florida Panthers and Tampa Bay Lightning. Those same Panthers come to town tonight with a 7-3-0 record in their last 10 games compared to the Hawks' slide which includes them going 3-6-1 in their last 10.Luckily for the Hawks they've been able to keep a hold on 4th place and a playoff spot in the Discover Central Division. That spot is barely theirs though as they have the same amount of points as the Columbus Blue Jackets but hold the spot because they have one game in hand. For tonight's game head coach Jeremy Colliton revealed to reporters that forward MacKenzie Entwistle will make his NHL debut and jump onto the fourth line with Carl Soderberg and Philipp Kurashev. The 21 year old forward has registered 5 points in 12 games so far in Rockford after putting up 26 in 56 games last year. Colliton also confirmed that Kevin Lankinen will get the start between the pipes and looks to get his first win since March 11 against the Dallas Stars. Check out tonight's full lineup below:Alex DeBrincat -- Pius Suter -- Patrick Kane Dominik Kubalik -- David Kampf -- Brandon Hagel Mattias Janmark -- Ryan Carpenter -- Dylan Strome MacKenzie Entwistle -- Carl Soderberg -- Philipp Kurashev Duncan Keith -- Connor Murphy Calvin de Haan -- Adam Boqvist Nikita Zadorov -- Ian Mitchell Kevin Lankinen "
