CHICAGO _ Nick Schmaltz is out, Brandon Saad is back in and Patrick Kane, as always, is unfazed.
Joel Quenneville moved Schmaltz off Kane's line and put Saad back on it for Tuesday night's game against the Ducks at the United Center, the latest series of lineup changes to which Kane has become accustomed.
"It has been changing for 12 years," he said.
Moving Schmaltz was more about finding the right place for Saad, whose power-play goal against the Ducks in the first period was his first score of the season.
"Saader's coming off a game where we liked what we saw," Quenneville said. "And playing with Kaner can help him get going."
