SCOTT FOSTER IS BACK!
Well, we don't know exactly what's going on but Foster was in full gear and practiced with the Blackhawks on Thursday morning ahead of their game against the New York Rangers.
Foster was not made available to the media afterwards, but coach Joel Quenneville said this won't be the last time you see him out there as Foster is expected to practice with the team for some optional skates going forward. Both Corey Crawford and Cam Ward were at practice as well.
"It's pretty cool to see him go through what he did last year and the story that he was," Jonathan Toews said. "And then obviously you can rely upon him to show up for practice every once in a while. He's good out there. He definitely makes you work on your shot."
Foster famously made an emergency appearance during a game last season and shutout the opposition. This isn't Foster's first reappearance with the team, he attended the Blackhawks convention this past summer and also made an appearance at the NHL Awards.
