My two big questions: will we see defenseman <strong>Alec Martinez<\/strong> and\/or goalie <strong>Laurent Brossoit<\/strong> with the team in any kind of a regular capacity? We\u2019ve already discussed the heavy workload they\u2019ve put on <strong>Petr Mr\u00e1zek<\/strong> (even if <strong>Arvid S\u00f6derblom<\/strong> has been good in his three appearances).<\/p>\n<p>The team is playing well right now but bringing Martinez\u2019s veteran presence back on the blue line could help. The question would immediately become what to do with the two young defensemen. <strong>Nolan Allan<\/strong> and <strong>Isaak Phillips<\/strong> have been okay thus far. Phillips scored a goal against Anaheim while playing over <strong>TJ Brodie<\/strong>, who has not been good at all.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>One of the unexpected surprises for the Blackhawks over the last couple weeks has been the success of the fourth line. We knew what <strong>Pat Maroon<\/strong> and <strong>Craig Smith<\/strong> brought to the table when they were brought here over the summer as free agents, but we didn\u2019t have a really good idea of who would center the two. There were a few experiments there early in the season.<\/li>\n<li>But since <strong>Lukas Reichel<\/strong> was inserted on a line he (in theory) wasn\u2019t supposed to be on, all three players have been producing \u2014 and Reichel has looked like the guy we saw a couple years ago when he was playing fast and confident. He\u2019s been the guy everyone \u2014 the front office, coaches, teammates, fans and (I\u2019m sure) his agent \u2014 have been begging to see.<\/li>\n<li>Scott Powers at <em>The Athletic<\/em> wrote a terrific piece about how Reichel rediscovered his confidence this season with help from Smith and Maroon (among others). It\u2019s terrific (highly recommend it again). But I wanted to grab a couple quotes from Maroon and Smith because I think they speak to the culture the Blackhawks are trying to foster in their room right now and why the additions of veterans around some younger players like Reichel is so important.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cI think most importantly, I know, I got the opportunity to sit on the plane with him last night next to him and hear what he went through last year,\u201d Maroon said. \u201cObviously it was a down year for him, in and out of the lineup, healthy scratch, Rockford.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cHe\u2019s eager,\u201d Smith said. \u201cHe\u2019s always smiling. I think that\u2019s underrated. When you\u2019re having fun, you\u2019re at your best. You feel comfortable. You have energy. Things suck when you aren\u2019t having a good time. It\u2019s always nice to see him get in the locker room and have a huge smile. He\u2019s always talking.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>https:\/\/twitter.com\/ByScottPowers\/status\/1853800798691504496?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1853800798691504496%7Ctwgr%5E4e5299c113ffa248ecf7e5b37b4d6b3d6b5b44c8%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&amp;ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.bleachernation.com%2Fblackhawks%2F2024%2F11%2F05%2Fvets-helping-reichels-rebound-martinez-and-brossoit-tyler-got-a-job-and-other-blackhawks-bullets%2F<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<ul>\n<li>When training camp opened, <strong>Ryan Donato<\/strong> talked about working on his skating because he knew the organization was going to get faster moving forward.
