Head coach Jeremy Colliton also confirmed that Brandon Hagel will jump into the line up. Corey Crawford gets the start for the Hawks and he'll go up against Aaron Dell of the Sharks. Here's a look at tonight's full projected lineup:Alex DeBrincat -- Jonathan Toews -- Brandon Saad Alex Nylander -- Dylan Strome -- Patrick Kane Dominik Kubalik -- Kirby Dach -- Brandon Hagel Matthew Highmore -- David Kampf -- Ryan Carpenter Duncan Keith -- Nicolas Beaudin Olli Maatta -- Slater Koekkoek Lucas Carlsson -- Connor Murphy Corey Crawford "
