BREAKING: Major Defensive Pairing Announcement
Keystone Press

This week it was confirmed that Brian Campbell of the Chicago Blackhawks would be the healthy scratch for tonight's game versus the Columbus Blue Jackets.

Initially Trevor van Riemsdyk was supposed to play the entire match replacing Campbell, but another announcement was made stating that both TVR and Brian Campbell will be hitting the ice for tonight's clash.

Blackhawks fans were confused when Campbell was set to ride the bench for today's game especially since everyone was so excited about the star players return to the Blackhawks since he left to play with the Florida Panthers.

Having both players take turns pairing up with Gustav Forsling could be a fair way to even out the playing time but it could also make it hard for Forsling to build a rhythm with one player or another.  In this case he is forced to adjust according to who is on the ice and that can be difficult in a high paced hockey game.

Nonetheless we hope for the best as the Chicago Blackhawks face off against the Columbus Blue Jackets tonight at the Nationwide Arena at 7:00 p.m. (ET).
