Overview

• Chicago staged a full-team scrimmage Monday as the white side won in a shootout on Ryan Donato’s winner.
• The preseason opens Tuesday against the Red Wings at Little Caesars Arena.
• Chicago is doubling down after a 24.9% power play on limited chances last season, with Jeff Blashill importing Tampa-influenced schemes and an aggressive penalty kill.
• Blashill said Bedard can work either flank on the man advantage with a focus on faceoff wins and sustained offensive-zone time.
• Landon Slaggert and Brett Seney are listed day to day, and Blashill said the first roster cuts could begin as early as Tuesday.
