The Blackhawks are slowly starting to get healthy, which is a great sign. Sam Lafferty returns to the lineup tonight and will be back on the fourth line at center. MacKenzie Entwistle will get elevated to the third line on the wing tonight.
The Jets’ lineup has a few changes from the last time they were in Chicago a couple weeks ago, which isn’t necessarily a good thing. The Jets have out-scored the Blackhawks 11-2 in their two matchups this season and come in one of the hotter teams in the entire NHL.
