REPORT: Blackhawks Huge Risk

The Chicago Blackhawks offensive line has been thrown into the blender so much it's no surprise that certain players such as Jonathan Toews might find it difficult to adjust.

Not only have the lines been moved around a lot but there are six rookies that have been added to the roster and they usually lace up every game.

Coach Q knows that there is an issue with penalties and fighting off the PK and therefore is adjusting the team as necessary until something clicks. This time the changes made might be a bit to drastic for most Blackhawks fans.

The expected first line for tonight features Patrick Kane, Jonathan Toews and Richard Panik which no one can deny will most likely put up some big numbers tonight.  The risk though is that the other lines are now a bit awkward and might not be as in sync as the first line.

The second line has Artemi Panarin and Artem Anisimov skating with Marian Hossa.  Although Hossa is a star and veteran he is returning from an injury and surgery and he might not have the speed to keep up with the younger skaters.

Tyler Motte, Marcus Kruger and Ryan Hartman make up the third line with Dennis Rasmussen Nick Schmaltz and Jordin Tootoo on the fourth. Vincent Hinostroza will be sharing the RW with Tootoo on the fourth line for tonight.

Its make it or break it as the Chicago Blackhawks clash with the New Jersey Devils tonight at the Prudential Center at 7:30 p.m. (ET).
