Patrick Kane Coming Off IR, Will Play vs Seattle

On Saturday, the Blackhawks host the Seattle Kraken. Lukas Reichel won’t be in the Blackhawks’ lineup, but it appears Patrick Kane will be.

Kane took rushes in his normal spot on the top line during the morning skate and will join the team against the re-hot Seattle Kraken tonight.

Alex Stalock, who has been out sick (non-COVID), was also on the ice for the morning skate. He joined Petr Mrazek (who was in the starter’s net) and Jaxson Stauber, giving the Blackhawks three goaltenders at the morning skate. We’ll see if Stalock is feeling well enough to serve a the back-up tonight.

When Stalock is healthy enough to go, Stauber will head back to Rockford.

It appears Boris Katchouk and Ian Mitchell will be the healthy scratches again tonight.
