Blackhawks' Brandon Saad: Facing three-week absence

Saad (ankle) is expected to be sidelined for three weeks.

Saad has already missed the Blackhawks' last two games, and it looks like he'll miss at least 10 more due to the ankle injury he sustained last Thursday against Winnipeg. John Quenneville is expected to get the first crack at replacing Saad on Chicago's top line Friday against the Islanders.
