Despite the move up to the first line, Michael Frolik only had a little more than 10 minutes of ice time and had three shots on goal. Hayes only had 12 minutes of ice time. Frolik has been a disappointment since being acquired from the Panthers last season. He accumulated 11 goals and 27 assists between Florida and the Blackhawks during the 2010-11 season in 80 games. Frolik has only scored five goals and registered nine assists this season heading into Thursday. (Updated 04/03/2012).

If you're in a Fantasy Hockey playoff pool, Evan Berofsky has some advice for you in his latest edition of Neutral Zone Wrap.
Frolik played so well down the stretch after being acquired by the Panthers last year that the Blackhawks rewarded him with a three-year contract this past July. The 23-year-old tallied two goals and three assists in seven games with the Hawks in the playoffs. Frolik should get a lot of ice time this year in coach Quenneville's aggressive system, as he is one of the more physical players on the team. (Updated 10/4/11)
