Fantasy Analysis
Marian Hossa's pregame session was rather light, but since his body is likely feeling less than 100 percent, the Blackhawks didn't want to take any chances on any sort of aggravation of the injury. He'll be joining Patrick Sharp and Michal Handzus on the Blackhawks' second line. (Updated 6/19/13).

06/19/2013 13:02 Hawks' Hossa Expected To Play Wednesday
Though Hossa (upper body) was not on the ice Wednesday for the Blackhawks' morning skate, coach Joel Quenneville expects the winger to be in the lineup for Game 4 against the Bruins, NHL.com reports.The Blackhawks -- down 2-1 to the Bruins in the Stanley Cup finals -- have not scored in 122:26 worth of playing time, so getting Hossa back would be a nice boost, given that he is tied for the team lead in playoff scoring with 15 points.
Can anyone get that image of Marian Hossa, immobilzed on a stretcher, out of their head? Hossa's season -- and the Hawks' playoff hopes -- ended on the forearm of Phoenix's Raffi Torres. He says he's symptom-free and ready for camp, but we can't help but feel a bit queasy about him to start the season. Just look at how long Sidney Crosby was out.It's a real shame because he's coming off his most successful regular season (77 points) since 2006-07 where he scored 100. Draft him as though he'll miss 20 games and you'll probably be OK. Then his 60 points won't feel like a let-down. (Updated 8/14/12)
