Frank Nazar RETURNS vs. Carolina Hurricanes | Chicago Blackhawks Roster Moves Coming?

Thursday's episode begins with a preview of the Chicago Blackhawks' matchup with the Carolina Hurricanes, where Frank Nazar is set to make his return to the lineup after missing the last 14 games with a jaw injury. Host Jack Bushman breaks down where Nazar draws back into the lineup and how his return makes a massive impact on the Blackhawks' offense. Then, Bushman dives into rookies Oliver Moore, Nick Lardis, and Colton Dach getting bumped down the lineup, and whether one of them could be heading back to the AHL in the near future. The episode concludes with an explanation of why it was smart for Moore to remain at center, rather than moving back to the wing. All that and more on Locked On Blackhawks.
