Dave Bolland News

New lines today: 81/36/10

Bolland moves up to the second line. The Mimico, Ont., native now has 16 goals and 27 points through 49 games. His fantasy hockey value jumps up a bit while playing with Marian Hossa and Patrick Sharp.

Quenneville said Bolland sitting out skates/practices has nothing to do w/ his foot. It's different "ailment", but he'll play. #Blackhawks

Bolland will play tonight even though he did not skate the last few days. Expect him to play on the third line and center the second PP unit.

Lines for #blackhawks same as practice Thurs. No Bolland at skate.

Certainly sounds like Bolland will miss tonight's game after missing yet another practice. Ben Smith took his place on the third line and figures to do the same on the power play.

Meanwhile, Dave Bolland also missed practice but is scheduled to play against the Ducks.

Bolland continues to get maintenance days which could indicate he's playing below 100 percent. The second line center has scored six goals and eight points through 16 games.

#Blackhawks center Dave Bolland is favoring his injured right foot during practice in Vancouver. Not a slam-dunk he'll return tomorrow.

Doesn't sound like Bolland will return tomorrow. Stay tuned for more status updates on the gritty center.

Dave Bolland is out tonight. Bolland is going on the trip; Q hoping he plays in one of the first two games on it. #Blackhawks

Bolland will miss his third consecutive game with a lower-body injury due to blocking a shot. Prior to getting hurt, the rugged center scored five goals and seven points. He could return as soon as next week so keep an eye on his status.
