The Blackhawks have dropped back-to-back games to the Detroit Red Wings. Meanwhile, the Blues have lost to the Dallas Stars, Utah Hockey Club, and Columbus Blue Jackets. This will be their first home game of the exhibition schedule, and they will be dressing quite a few of their NHL regulars.

The Blackhawks held an “optional” skate today, with eight players who played last night taking the morning off before jumping on the plane. Among those who will play again tonight are Kevin Korchinski, Frank Nazar, and Colton Dach. Petr Mrazek will play the entire game against the Blues.
Before practice started, the Blackhawks made a series of roster cuts. Nick Lardis was released to his OHL club after playing the first two preseason games. Forwards Gavin Hayes, Paul Ludwinski, Jalen Luypen, and Marcel Marcel, defensemen DJ King and Austin Strand, and goaltender Ben Gaudreau were all sent back to the Rockford IceHogs, who begin their training camp on Monday.
