Ron Chenoy / USA TODAY Sports
Antoine Vermette's number has finally been called.
The Chicago Blackhawks center will be in the lineup for Sunday's Game 3 against the Nashville Predators, marking his first playoff appearance for the club after being acquired - in exchange for a first-round pick and a prospect - prior to the trade deadline.
In 19 games with the Blackhawks, however, he has recorded three assists and 24 shots.
Andrew Desjardins will also draw into the lineup. Rookie forward Teuvo Teravainen will not play.
