Marko Dano might finally be up to speed.
Chicago Blackhawks head coach Joel Quenneville skated Dano on the first line with Jonathan Toews and Marian Hossa at practice Friday.
Dano was a key piece acquired in return for Brandon Saad, which was why it was surprise to many when it was announced he'd start the season in the AHL.
He's since been recalled, appeared in five games, and scored a goal, but topped out at just over 11 minutes in a bottom-six capacity.
Meanwhile, Michal Rozsival and Duncan Keith took regular reps, indicating they're prepared to return.
