After missing the last 10 games due to a knee injury, Duncan Keith will return to Chicago’s lineup when the ‘Hawks take on St. Louis and the veteran defenseman couldn’t be happier.
Keith: "I was getting more anxious to get out there as time went on, and near the time I was going to be ready to play." #Blackhawks

Duncan Keith was goofing around, just beaming after morning skate. Guy's probably been counting the minutes until his return. #Blackhawks

The Blackhawks won their first three games without him, but the loss of Keith proved to be difficult to overcome, as they have just two wins in their last seven contests.
The ‘Hawks are concerned about their tough stretch, but there’s no doubt that Keith’s addition will be a huge boost for them.
After tonight’s game, they will host the Flames on Sunday and head coach Joel Quenneville said Keith will probably play in that game too.
Duncan Keith good to go for tonight. Q said he probably plays tomorrow too but they'll gauge that off how he does tonight. #Blackhawks
