Mashinter has a good chance of making the Blackhawks' opening night roster as the team looks for enforcer to replace Brandon Bollig, CSN Chicago reports.

Analysis:

Bollig was traded during the summer to Calgary and Blackhawks' coach Joel Quenneville wants to still have that physical, tough-guy element on the team. Quenneville has liked Mashinter's physical game so far during the preseason. He was acquired by the Hawks from Rangers last December.
