The Chicago Blackhawks will receive a much-needed boost to their lineup when they visit the Winnipeg Jets on Thursday.
The Blackhawks will welcome back defenseman Brent Seabrook and forward Artem Anisimov. Seabrook missed Tuesday's contest with an illness, while Anisimov has been sidelined the past two games with a lower-body injury.
The returns help balance a lineup which will be without defenseman Duncan Keith and forward Marian Hossa. Keith remains out pending a hearing with the NHL's Department of Player Safety following a high-sticking incident against the Minnesota Wild, while Hossa will miss Thursday's game with an illness.
The team is looking to collect its third win in four games. The Blackhawks currently hold down the third spot in the Central Division.
