After Sunday's off day, the Blackhawks Prospects returned to the ice Monday morning as they get set for the final divisional game of the tournament against the St. Louis Blues Prospects at 4:30 p.m. CT.
Depending on how the final day shakes out, Chicago could finish anywhere from second to fourth in the division standings, unable to catch Toronto's 6 points in the opening two games. St. Louis fell 6-2 to Toronto on Friday before dropping a 7-3 result to Detroit on Saturday, a win that vaulted Red Wings into second place with 4 points. The Blackhawks have 2 points from Friday's OT win.

"They don't need to play all four (games) and they can get a little rest before camp starts," IceHogs head coach Derek King explained. "We brought these (extra) bodies, we want to play them."
