Blackhawks' Marian Hossa: Returning to the lineup Saturday

Hossa (lower body) took part in line rushes during pregame warmups, indicating he'll play Saturday against the Maple Leafs, Tracey Myers of CSN Chicago reports.

Analysis:

The veteran winger will slot into a bottom-six role Saturday against Toronto, skating with Marcus Kruger and Ryan Hartman on Chicago's third line. Hossa could make for a sneaky play in daily contests Saturday, as he's been highly successful thus far this season, notching four points (one goal, three assists) in four games.
