The Flower is back in the building tonight as Marc-André Fleury and the Minnesota visit the Blackhawks this evening. The Blackhawks will look to rebound after a tough loss to the Buffalo Sabres in which they coughed up a two-goal lead down the stretch.
The big news of the day though is the loss of defenseman Seth Jones who will miss 3-4 weeks with a broken thumb.
Luke Richardson told us that Jones broke his thumb blocking a shot during the second period of last night’s loss to the Buffalo Sabres. You can read about Richardson’s reaction on the news and immediate plans here:
