Breaking: Lineup Changes for The Blackhawks Announced
The Chicago Blackhawks will be taking on the San Jose Sharks again tonight, as the team is concluding their road trip with this game.
The team is 19-46-5 and one of the worst teams in the league, as they push forward with their rebuild.
Will there be a chance for a lottery pick this year? With how injuries have plagued this team again, it looks like it's a possibility, but not a sure bet.
For now, however, as a result of what is likely poor play by Arvid Soderblom Petr Mrazek will once again be netminding tonight against the Sharks.

Jarred Tinordi will be taken out of the lineup, and Mackenzie Entwistle placed back into the lineup, as Richardson originally thought giving Tinordi time on ice would give the Hawks a needed edge.
However, that wasn't the case against the Ducks, as 11 forwards and 7 defensemen didn't work out.
Mrazek will slot in as he gives the Hawks an edge desperately needed near the end of the season, with 48 games played, 15 wins, 1 shutout, 3.09 GAA, and a .904 save percentage.
Tinordi was a dismal -3 against the Ducks, with 5 PIMS taking 13 shifts and 8:24 TOI.
Here's hoping a lineup change will help the team against the bottom-dwelling baby sharks.
