Edmonton Oilers at Chicago Blackhawks 7PM Central/6PM Mountain WGN/RSN
THE BUZZ
Good news for the Blackhawks and their fans: Marian Hossa returns to the lineup tonight which will have a positive ripple effect throughout the forward lines. Ryan Garbutt is out; Viktor Tikhonov is in. Andrew Shaw moves to the third line.
Edmonton's speed has given the Hawks problems at times the last few seasons. Regardless, the Hawks need to tighten things up as their last 5 periods against the Blues and the Devils were about as bad as they've played in several years.
