by from on (#2JGT7)
The Chicago Blackhawks will get a key member back in the lineup when the playoffs begin next week.
Artem Anisimov, who last played March 14, will be ready for Game 1 of the opening round, head coach Joel Quenneville confirmed Saturday, according to Mark Lazerus of the Chicago Sun-Times.
It's a big addition for the No. 1 seed, as Anisimov was primarily deployed centering Artemi Panarin and Patrick Kane throughout the regular season.
In 64 games, he contributed 22 goals and 23 assists.
