Maybe the two busiest teams in free agency this past summer were the Blackhawks and Predators. The Hawks were looking for placeholders; the Preds were trying to win a championship. The Blackhawks are dead last in the standings. The Preds are third in the draft lottery order today.
There’s plenty of firepower on the other side tonight. And they have some good defensive centers to deal with the Blackhawks’ youngsters. The Preds’ record sucks, but this is a dangerous team.

Injury Report
Chicago Blackhawks
Laurent Brossoit (knee) and Connor Murphy (groin) are on IR. Craig Smith (back) is day-to-day.Nashville Predators
Jeremy Lauzon, Cole Smith and Adam Wilsby are on IR. Luke Evangelista is out.What to Watch For
The Blackhawks were terrible in their last game. Lots more words about effort. Let’s see it. Bedard has only had one pointless game in his last 11. How about he keeps rolling tonight? The Hawks will need to keep an eye on the oft-suspended L’Heureux. He’s the guy who cheapshot punched Dach in the head and gave him a concussion last year. Dirty player.Get Caught Up
Taylor Hall believes he will likely be traded. He would be open to signing an extension but has “a feeling that’s not really in the cards.”“I came into this year wanting to be a Blackhawk for years to come. I don’t know if that’s going to be the case anymore.”
