The Blackhawks are in Philadelphia tonight and Ian Mitchell appears to be back in the lineup in place of Isaak Phillips. As long as the Blackhawks have seven defensemen including the two youngsters, we’re likely going to see head coach Luke Richardson alternating 3-4 game stretches for them. It that ideal? Maybe not. Would I love to see them skate together for 4-5 in a row? Absolutely. But baby steps, folks. Baby steps until the trade deadline…
