Stalock was enjoying a resurgent comeback season prior to a concussion putting him on the shelf since Nov.1st. The 35-year-old veteran will likely return as the Blackhawks starter, after posting a 3-2-1 record, 2.93 GAA and .914 SV% in seven games prior to his injury.
Harkins has two goals, four points, eight PIMs and is a +6 through 13 games this season but will be a game-time decision Thursday due to an undisclosed injury.

Dostal allowed five goals on 15 shots (.667 SV%) as he filled in rather poorly for an injured John Gibson in his previous time out. The 22-year-old has struggled in his two showings this year, with his 0-1-0 record, .849 SV% and 5.38 GAA. He will hope to push his numbers more in the right direction as he takes on the Montreal Canadiens, who are on a back-to-back after coming off a 3-2 loss to Ottawa on Wednesday night.
Eriksson Ek immediately enters a goalie tandem with Lukas Dostal as both John Gibson and Anthony Stolarz are currently dealing with injuries themselves as he was recalled from San Diego (AHL) Wednesday. It has not been a good season for Eriksson Ek in the minors, where he has yet to win a game with an 0-5-0 record, .844 SV% and 4.94 GAA.
Gudas has not played since Dec. 3rd due to a concussion and has been placed on the injured reserve retroactively to that date to make room for Grigori Denisenko. The 32-year-old bruiser, has two goals, six points, 49 SOG and 39 PIMs in 25 games prior to the injury.
John Gibson allowed four goals on 19 shots (.789 SV%) and took his fourth loss in five starts as he was downed by San Jose in his last start. The 29-year-old is having an incredibly down year, as he has a 5-13-3 record, .894 SV% and 3.99 GAA. He takes on one of the league's hottest teams the Toronto Maple Leafs, who have gotten at least a point in 15 straight contests (12-0-3).

The Panthers said that Gudas does not have a timetable for his return, so Matt Kiersted is expected to replace him in the lineup for Tuesday's game in Winnipeg.
The Panthers were already playing short a forward, and they lost both Gudas and Patric Hornqvist in Saturday's game. Head coach Paul Maruice did not have an update on Gudas' status post-game but expect to hear some news following Monday's practice.
Sustr should serve as the extra defenseman with Jonas Brodin being announced injured Thursday. The 32-year-old had five assists and a +6 plus/minus through 15 games with Iowa (AHL) this season. If he does crack the lineup for the Wild he will build off his 69 points (11G/58A) and 333 SOG through 361 career NHL games played.
