Two hot teams will take the ice at the United Center on Saturday night. The Blackhawks have won three straight (I know, right?!?) while the Kraken ended the Bruins’ season-starting streak of not having a regulation loss on Thursday night and have won their last seven — six of which have been on the road. One streak will have to end tonight. The Blackhawks are expected to have Patrick Kane back in the lineup.

Injury Report
Chicago Blackhawks
Jarred Tinordi and Jujhar Khaira are left on IR. Before the game, the Blackhawks took Kane off IR and sent Jaxson Stauber back to Rockford, which means Alex Stalock is healthy enough to be the backup tonight.
Seattle Kraken
Joonas Donskoi and Chris Driedger are on IR. If Jaden Schwartz can’t go tonight, Ryan Donato may draw in.
