The Blackhawks have moved Kirby Dach (wrist) and Jonathan Toews (illness) to long-term injured reserve. Dach is likely out for the season, but this means Toews will miss at least 10 games and 24 days. Brent Seabrook (lower back, officially) remains on regular IR.

Cole Smith is going to make his NHL debut tonight barring something unforeseen. Few have worked as hard as him to earn this. Cut from USHL after senior HS year. One NCAA offer (20% at that). Became an indispensable player at UND. Someone with NSH did their homework. https://t.co/0r9vGB8m1k
