Heading into tonight's matchup against the Washington Capitals, the Blackhawks will have some familiar faces returning to their lineups.
Head coach Luke Richardson confirmed that Tyler Johnson and Petr Mrazek will be in tonight's lineup. Johnson missed closed to 20 games due to an ankle injury and Mrazek has missed three due to a groin injury. Richardson confirmed the veteran goaltender will make the start in net against Washington and had him out as a precaution.
"We want to get him back in," Richardson said. "We thought like his last game was a really solid game. It was just a precaution that he had to come out with the injury. So, it'd be nice to get him back in."
