The Chicago Blackhawks Make A Major Roster Announcement for tonight

For tonight's game against the St. Louis Blues, starting goalie Petr Mrazek will be in net, for the full game against the Blackhawks rivals.

The St. Louis Blues have a terrible preseason record at the moment, with a 0-3 record.

They lost to the Utah Hockey Club, the Dallas Stars, and the Columbus Blue Jackets.

The Blues will need a win tonight if they're to maintain any semblance of self-respect, as even though preseason points aren't necessary, it makes you wonder if they're even trying out there.

Petr Mrazek will be facing, one-time Stanley Cup winner, Jordan Binnington in net for the St. Louis Blues tonight.

Which should prove to be an interesting goalie duel, if Binnington has any steam left in the engine.

But for all intents and purposes, this feels like a game for the Blackhawks to get back into the game, with a win and a chance to beat the new-look St. Louis Blues.

In 2023-2024, Petr Mrazek played 56 games for the Blackhawks, with an 18-31-4 record, 3.03 GAA, and a .908 save percentage on a terrible Hawks team.

This night could be the pivotal point where the Blackhawks establish their new identity as many NHLers are trickling into the lineup.

Players like Ethan Del Mastro, Isaak Phillips, Nolan Allan, and Alex Vlasic will also need to show up and help protect the net.
