If the Chicago Blackhawks are going to pick up their 11th win of the year tonight against the Seattle Kraken, they'll do so with more reinforcements who were previously unavailable.
The Chicago Blackhawks will be going for their 11th win of the year tonight when they host the Seattle Kraken at United Center, and the good news is that they're getting back an important forward who was previously unavailable because of injury.
Forward Tyler Bertuzzi is expected back into the lineup tonight, and he skated on a line with Oliver Moore and Frank Nazar during practice today.
Per Chicago Hockey Now, the Blackhawks will be going with these lines against the Kraken tonight:
Forward Lines
Tyler Bertuzzi - Frank Nazar - Oliver Moore
Defensive Pairings
Matt Grzelcyk-Connor Murphy
Scratched
F - Landon Slaggert
The Blackhawks are still missing Jason Dickinson, who has missed the last several games. They're also without captain Nick Foligno, who has a hand injury.
Tyler Bertuzzi Has Missed Multiple Games With Injury
Bertuzzi hasn't been able to play in Chicago's last few games after he took a blatant elbow to the head from New Jersey Devils defenseman Brendan Dillon during their recent game.
It stopped what was a hot streak for Bertuzzi, who scored six goals with two assists in his last four games before the injury.
So far this year, in his second season in a Blackhawks sweater, Bertuzzi has 15 points (9G, 6A) in 16 games played.
