The Blackawks may be a good team as currently constructed, but who’ll make the lineup a month from now is still unknown. Several players are returning from injuries, and one who has yet to play a minute this season may shake up the defensive core.
“Naw, he’s soft,” Caleb Jones said. “I actually have to ask him stuff to get it out of him, otherwise he’ll just stay quiet.Chicago Blackhawks goaltender Petr Mrázek defends the goal in the second period of the Blackhawks home opener against the Detroit Red Wings, Oct. 21, 2022, at the United Center,Alex Stalock has had his highlight moments, too, when he was thrust into the starting role.
Said Richardson: “With his history, last year coming back right off the hop, it’s probably going to be a couple of weeks to make sure he has the proper time to get back, and not just get out and get some reps in practice but to strengthen it. I think we’re looking at getting full practice in next week and coming full bore on the L.A.-Anaheim trip.”
“I think it’s mutual,” Richardson said. “I think it’s just smart, speaking with him and what he went through last year and the training staff, just understanding what he went through. It wasn’t as bad as probably they thought at the beginning, which is good, but just to take that extra couple of days.”Chicago Blackhawks defenseman Ian Mitchell handles the puck during the second period against the Tampa Bay Lightning, March 7, 2021, at the United Center.
The defensive core has gotten crowded in his absence, with Caleb Jones, Filip Roos and Alec Regula among the young blueliners in rotation for ice time.“It’s something my dad was telling me growing up: it’s a marathon, not a sprint,” he said. “So trying to stick to that and knowing that it doesn’t change the player I am or how the organization feels about me. It’s just my start’s a little bit delayed this year, and that’s OK.
