Welcome into the C.HGO Blackhawks podcast. I'm J-Zawks. I'm J-Zawks with Mario Tirabasi. It is our first non-post-game show in almost a month, which is crazy to think about it.

A while.

And a lot's happened.

A lot has happened in that month, including the Blackhawks practicing today.

That's where we will start.

There's on a ton of news, but there's some, and it's worth paying some attention to.

So let's start with today's practice. Not a ton to report. The good news, I think for most people,

is that Lucas Reichel is back in the line rotation today. He's on the fourth line with Craig Smith

and Ryan Donato.

So your lines are basically identical with Reichel in for Maroon and then Reichael moving to center.

Your D pairs were Kaiser and Jones, Vlasik and Crevier, Alan and Brody, and Kourashev, Maroon, and Martinez all practiced.

Martinez practiced in full, but didn't really have...

He was rotating in with Louis Crevier.

Yeah, there was not much of an update from Anders, though.

He's like, eh, we'll see.

You're not going to get any updates really from Anders.

But he does look very close.
