Niederreiter, known more for his scoring, had five hits, often came away from board battles with the puck and is getting stronger without the puck every game, coach Mike Yeo said.

The Blackhawks will rest a lot of their star players tonight.

Nyquist will need to take advantage of his time on Datsyuk's line if he wants to play there permanently. Abdelkader has yet to produce on that line so Nyquist should have no problem bumping him down.

Scheifele will be a healthy scratch tonight.

Nyquist had one goal and 6 assists in 18 games with the Red Wings this season. He was much more effective in a top 6 role alongside Pavel Datsyuk.

Nyquist moves back onto a scoring line. The rookie has a goal and seven points through 14 games.

Look for Nyquist to stay on the fourth line. He has a goal and seven points in 13 games.

El Nino draws back into the lineup tonight. He scored a goal through 49 games.

Niederreiter is once again a healthy scratch. The rookie has a goal in 49 games.

With Johan Franzen back at practice, Nyquist now moves into the fourth line mix. The rookie has a goal and seven points in 12 games.

Nyquist moves onto Datsyuk's line and should be in a position to produce. The rookie registered three assists in his first eight games played.

Niederreiter moves from the third line to the fourth line mix. He has one goal in 46 games.

Niederreiter sticks in the lineup tonight. The rookie has a goal and a minus-20 rating in 45 games.

Niederreiter could play on the fourth line with Martin sidelined. The rookie has a goal in 42 games.

Nyquist gets a crack at a scoring line. He has an assist in five career games.

Niederreiter gets another crack at the lineup after being a healthy scratch. The former 5th overall pick has one goal through 39 games.

El Nino takes a seat in the press box for the second consecutive game. The rookie has a goal in 39 games.

Toews moves back between Sharp and Kane as the Blackhawks look to regain their scoring touch. The captain has 27 goals and 52 points in 55 games.

Expect Toews to play between his normal linemates of Patrick Kane and Viktor Stalberg. The team's captain has 27 goals and 50 points on the season.
