Blackhawks coach Joel Quenneville has made massive lineup changes, including the return of injured defenseman Duncan Keith to practice.
Keith missed the past three and a half games due to a left hand injury suffered against Nashville on Halloween.
He stopped short of declaring himself ready for Tuesday's contest against the Blues.
"Things are definitely better than I expected," he said. "I think it's gotten a lot better for sure. I'm optimistic about [Tuesday]."
