According to the Blackhawks web site, coach Joel Quenneville will start the game against the Nashville Predators on Thursday with his lines arranged this way:

Dustin Byfuglien - John Madden – Patrick Kane

Andrew Ladd – Dave Bolland – Kris Versteeg

Patrick Sharp – Andrew Ebbett – Troy Brouwer

Tomas Kopecky - Colin Fraser – Jordan Hendry

Because of the return of Brent Seabrook from injury, the defensive lines will be more traditional. Jonathan Toews is still out with a concussion, so please note that Hendry will play forward this evening. The defensive pairings will be:

Duncan Keith – Brent Seabrook

Brian Campbell – Niklas Hjalmarsson

Brent Sopel – Cam Barker

Goal: Cristobal Huet
