After sitting out a two-game suspension, forward Daniel Carcillo will return to the Chicago Blackhawks' lineup in Florida tonight and promises to be as aggressive as ever.
Carcillo was suspended for a hit on Carolina Hurricanes defenseman Joni Pitkanen. "If I change my game, I wouldn't be playing in this league anymore," Carcillo said. "I have to play a certain way. Like I said at the beginning of the year, with the way the game is being called now, it was just a matter of time before something happens. Something happened." Carcillo took a verbal shot at Pitkanen. Asked if he thought he extended his arms too much on the play on Pitkanen, Carcillo said: "No. "I thought he went down. It's Joni Pitkanen, you know? Ask around the league. He's a big guy but doesn't play like it. It was a quick play. It happened. And that's that."
