Sophomore Slump or Comeback of the Year: Blackhawks vs. Wild Preseason  Preview

Blackhawks update: Chicago was part of Friday’s blockbuster, three-team trade that sent LW Taylor Hall and RW Mikko Rantanen to Carolina. Aside from dealing Hall and a prospect to the Hurricanes, who received Rantanen from Colorado and sent Chicago a third-round draft pick, the Blackhawks played broker by retaining half of Rantanen’s salary cap hit. This shakeup comes as Chicago loiters at the bottom of the Central Division. The Blackhawks have dropped two in a row in overtime but have just one win in their past seven games. They are 1-2 vs. the Wild.

Injuries: Wild D Jonas Brodin (lower body) and LW Marcus Johansson (concussion) are out. Blackhawks D’s Seth Jones and Alec Martinez didn’t practice Saturday (illness). G Laurent Brossoit (knee), D Connor Murphy (groin) and C Craig Smith (back) are out.
