The Blackhawks will host the penultimate game on their preseason schedule this evening at the United Center with the Minnesota Wild visiting town. With a couple exceptions — Philipp Kurashev is dealing with his wrist issue and it appears Andreas Athanasiou is still getting over his illness — this could be fairly close to what the Blackhawks put on the ice in Pittsburgh in Game One of the 2023-24 regular season.

Dean Evason indicated Marc-Andre Fleury will play the full game Thursday, expect Gustavsson full game Saturday. Likely regular lineup vs Hawks. Evason said they're making decisions re: cuts next day or so. But next few games appear to be close to dress rehearsal as you can get— Joe Smith (@JoeSmithNHL) October 4, 2023
