Hawks’ Hossa Will Play His First Game Tonight

It’s finally that time Hawk fans. Forward Marian Hossa will finally play a game in a Hawks jersey this Thursday night.

It’s the big day for Hawk fans. If you are a Blackhawk fan you have to be happy.

The Hawks look like they have both Jonathan Toews and Patrick Kane signed for many years to come, Hossa is starting tonight, the team has a 7-game winning streak, and the Hawks are siting pretty high in the conference standings.

Hossa will be playing right forward, making Kane switch over to the left wing, on the Toews line.

Kane should be able to get used to playing on the left wing fairly easy. He played left wing his rookie season and also a little bit last year.

Hossa will also be on the Kane and Versteeg powerplay line.

Hossa underwent shoulder surgery after the Hawks signed him to a 12 year $62.8 million contract July 1st.

Since then it has been a gradual comeback for the Slovakian veteran. Just over the past month he has been skating with the team, getting ready for this day.

Now the day has come.

Today the Hawks play the San Jose Sharks, currently holding the #1 spot in the Western Conference, in San Jose at 9:30pm cst.
