The Blackhawks are finally back in action after a full two-week break. They scored 14 goals in their final three games before the break (1-0-2) so the offense was humming before the layoff. Hopefully they can pick up where they were because the schedule turns into a sprint right now.
We’re also on hug watch with the NHL trade deadline on March 7. Columbus is fighting for a playoff berth with a young team, so they might be buyers if their next few games go the right way. The Blackhawks? Not so much.

Injury Report
Chicago Blackhawks
Laurent Brossoit (knee) and Jason Dickinson (ankle) are on IR.Columbus Blue Jackets
Erik Gudbranson, Sean Monahan, Yegor Chinakhov and Kevin Lebanc are on IR.What to Watch For
Bedard and Donato were clicking before the break. Let’s see if they can pick up where they left off. Werenski, Columbus’ top defenseman and a legit Norris Trophy candidate, played heavy minutes for the US in the 4 Nations Face-Off. We’ll see how he feels coming off the overtime loss with a quick turnaround before this game. Without Dickinson available, the Blackhawks are going to roll Foligno as their third center. Faceoffs will continue to be important for this team. The Blue Jackets activated Jenner and Marchenko off IR on Friday. They’ll rejoin the Jackets’ lineup tonight.Get Caught Up
