Welcome back, Blackhawks! The Christmas break is now in the rearview mirror and the Hawks can begin their quest back to… well, they get to play against one of the other worst teams in the league tonight in Buffalo. And the game is on a national television network. So we’ve got that going for us, which is nice. Also, the Sabres will be wearing their black and read with the goat head tonight.
Are we hyping this game as Horrible for Hagens? Mediocre for Martone? Lottery balls are in play on a Friday night in December, y’all.

Injury Report
Chicago Blackhawks
Laurent Brossoit (knee), Alec Martinez (neck) and Craig Smith (back) are on IR.Buffalo Sabres
Jordan Greenway is on IR.What to Watch For
The Blackhawks will put Kurashev back in the lineup after a lengthy amount of time to think about his game. Let’s see if he can make an impact. Bedard scored in four of his last seven games before the break, including his last two. Let’s see if he can pick up where he left off and stay hot. Chicago’s third line continues to drive offense while also being a good shut-down line. Hopefully they can continue racking up points while limiting opportunities for the Sabres.Get Caught Up
Two of the past three meetings between the Blackhawks and Sabres at KeyBank Center have required more than 60 minutes to determine a winner. Will the trend continue when Connor Bedard and Rasmus Dahlin meet on ESPN2? #NHLStats pic.twitter.com/skhstxxYDm
