6 years agoChicago Blackhawks defenseman Slater Koekkoek will return to the lineup on Saturday against Montreal after missing three games as a healthy scratch. He replaces Carl Dahlstrom on the third pairing. Koekkoek has done well when trusted, registering an assist in both of his last two appearances. He's got good offensive instincts and a decent shot. The 26-year-old has one goal and four points in 24 appearances this season with a minus-one rating, 33 shots and 12 penalty minutes. Drake Caggiula (concussion) remains out for the Hawks who have won four straight, averaging 4.75 goals per game.--Taavi Pailk - RotoBaller
