Connor Murphy Set To Return Saturday
21 seconds agoChicago Blackhawks defenseman Connor Murphy (groin) has been cleared to return to the lineup. He will end a 13-game absence in Saturday's clash against the Florida Panthers. Nolan Allan will come out of the lineup to make room for Murphy, who has recorded 13 points (one goal, 12 assists) in 38 games. Additionally, he has blocked 93 shots while delivering 70 hits. Murphy will be partnered with TJ Brodie on the third defensive pairing. While Murphy has demonstrated his ability to make an impact at both ends of the ice, he was slumping offensively before getting hurt, going scoreless in five straight games.
