Blackhawks head coach Jeff Blashill made a lineup tweak to the top line after losing to the Panthers on opening night of the NHL season. Ryan Donato and Colton Dach swap spots on Connor Bedard’s wing. How can this change affect Bedard and Dach’s impact? Plus, Alex Vlasic is healthy and returns to the lineup before tomorrow night’s game. Jay Zawaski and Mario Tirabassi discuss all that and more as the Blackhawks prepare to face the Boston Bruins.
After a season-opening 3-1 win over the Washington Capitals on Wednesday night, it’s a quick turnaround for the Boston Bruins. They will return to the TD Garden on Thursday night to face the Chicago Blackhawks and a handful of former teammates.
When Chicago takes the ice, they will have four former Bruins in the lineup. Forwards Tyler Bertuzzi, who picked up two assists in the Blackhawks’ season-opening 3-2 loss to the Florida Panthers on Tuesday night, Nick Foligno, who is the captain, Ryan Donato, and defenseman Matt Grzelcyk will be making a return to Boston. Grzelcyk signed a PTO for training camp with Chicago, but earned a contract over before the season started
The Blackhawks also have 2023 first overall pick Connor Bedard, an exciting young player, who was held pointless by Florida.
Bruins X account has A+ troll night
On Tuesday, Fanatics released the top-selling jerseys of the offseason ahead of the 2025-26 season. The list was somewhat surprising, with Kirill Kaprizov of the Minnesota Wild leading the way, followed by Alex Ovechkin of the Washington Capitals, Dylan Larkin of the Detroit Red Wings, Clayton Keller of the Utah Mammoth, and Kevin Pastrnak of the Bruins. Yes, that’s right, they listed David as Kevin.
When David Pastrnak opened the scoring in the second period against Washington, Boston’s X account didn’t miss a chance to troll.
