About this Article

Marian Hossa took a hit from teammate Brandon Bollig in practice last week that let him know he was OK in his rehab from the concussion suffered on that devastating hit by Phoenix' Raffi Torres in Game 3 of the Blackhawks' first-round playoff series last spring. The next test will come Saturday when the Hawks open the season at Los Angeles against the physical Kings and the hitting goes to another level.
