With all the injuries and the young players competing for spots on the roster, im wondering what are the current Blackhawks lines?

I'd like to know who is playing with Vorobiev and how much ice time does he gets. Same thing with Ruutu.

Thanks alot

Lines from Oct 19th vs NSH ...

Calder | Arnason | Vorobiev | Dempsey | Klemm
Sullivan | McLean | Radulov | Poapst | Karpovtsev
Nieminen | Bell | VandenBussche | Strudwick | McCarthy
Moen | Ruutu | Nichol | Thibault | Leighton
* inj - Zhamnov, Daze
* scr - Kukkonen, Quint

That was Ruutu's first game on the fourth line, and he scored a goal. Kukkonen was a healthy scratch for some reason, and Strudwick played on the blueline for the first time this season.

Ruutu started the season between Daze and Sullivan, then was moved in between Bell and Nieminen. He's getting about 14.5 minutes per game, gets usually 2-3 minutes per game on the powerplay. Lately, he's been on the first PP unit with Calder and McLean up front and Sullivan and Karpovtsev at the points.

Vorobiev started the season as a healthy scratch, then was playing with Zhamnov and Calder. Since Zhamnov's injury, Vorobiev's stayed with Calder and Arnason's been in the middle. Vorobiev gets about 14 minutes per game, and also gets about 2-3 minutes per game on the powerplay. Lately, he's been on the second PP unit with Calder and Arnason up front and Nathan Dempsey and Steve McCarthy at the points.

Because of the amount of russians on our team, we've become communist, and give equal playing time to everyone.
