Blackhawks' Saturday practice

Most important thing first ... no Nikolai Khabibulin on the ice right now. We'll find out in a bit when the players and coaches come off the ice what the prognosis is, but an early bet is "day-to-day" even if he's dead.

Here are the lines they're working with. Note that some of the players who haven't been practicing like Duncan Keith are on the ice ...

Byfuglien-Toews_Kane
Ladd-Bolland-Brouwer
Versteeg-Dowell-Sharp
Eager-Fraser-Burish

Keith-Seabrook
Hjalmarsson-Campbell

Huet
Crawford

Neither Martin Havlat nor Sammy Pahlsson are on the ice. Thus Colin Fraser and Jacob Dowell. I'd be surprised if Havlat returned for Game 4 after being KOd by that Kronwall hit.

I also didn't see the third defense pairing of Barker and Walker out there. They could just be resting injuries ... or my old eyes could finally have failed me.
