The Chicago Blackhawks are juggling their lineup for Game 3 of the Western Conference Final against the Anaheim Ducks.

Kris Versteeg is in the lineup for his first game since Game 6 of the Blackhawks' first-round series against the Nashville Predators.

Versteeg was dealing with a lower-body injury.

Antoine Vermette is listed as a scratch. The pre-trade deadline acquisition appeared in the first two games of the Conference Final and all four games during the Blackhawks' second-round sweep of the Minnesota Wild.

Rookie forward Teuvo Teravainen is also out of the lineup in favor of Joakim Nordstrom.
