It's been quite some time since Dustin Byfuglien appeared in an NHL game, with his lengthy career coming to an abrupt end a few years ago. The physically imposing defenseman was always a treat to watch, and it looks like fans will get to see him in action once more.
Big Buff Says Goodbye
It was just announced that NHL legend Marian Hossa will be playing in one last "farewell" game, hosted in Slovakia before he officially calls it a career. The roster is full of Hossa's teammates and friends, and among those is Byfuglien.
"Chicago Blackhawks legend Marian Hossa has announced that he's having a "Goodbye Game" next month in Slovakia.
Jonathan Toews, Patrick Sharp, and Dustin Byfuglien are among the players that will play in the game.
All proceeds from the game will go to Marian's foundation."
Byfuglien will appear alongside his former teammates Jonathan Toews and Patrick Sharp, who won numerous Stanley Cups together during their days in Chicago.
