So here we are, the Blackhawks have painted themselves in a corner and unless they start a three game winning streak tonight, their season will come to a disappointing end. So instead of dancing with the girl you brought, Q is shuffling his lines once again. To me this reeks of desperation, but we shall see. It appears we might getting Patrick Sharp with Daydream Nation on the top line. We've seen great things out of this combination in the past and we will need a big encore from them tonight. Just because Q used the lines below in practice this morning doesn't mean we will see them tonight. The lines he used in practice on Thursday were not the same lines he used in Game 3, so we will just have to wait and see. It doesn't matter what the lines are, the Hawks need goals. The stars need to produce and our captain needs to show the hockey world why he should have been considered for the Hart Trophy.

Probable Blackhawks Lineup:

Forwards

Patrick Sharp - Jonathan Toews - Patrick Kane
Bryan Bickell - Michal Handzus - Marian Hossa
Brandon Saad - Andrew Shaw - Viktor Stalberg
Marcus Kruger - Dave Bolland - Michael Frolik
