Blackhawks' Landon Slaggert: On track for start of season

Slaggert (undisclosed) is set to return to practice Tuesday and is on track to be 100 percent for the regular season opener, Ben Pope of the Chicago Sun-Times reports Sunday.

Slaggert isn't in the lineup for Sunday's preseason game against the Wild, but he's slated to be ready for Opening Night. The 23-year-old is likely to fill a bottom-six role this season following a six-point campaign in 33 outings with Chicago last year.
