Chicago Blackhawks News

Knight was solid in his most recent game, despite losing 4-1 to the Edmonton Oilers, saving 33 of 36 shots (.917 SV%) in the effort. The 24-year-old goalie has been effective over the past two weeks, posting a 2.62 GAA and .911 SV% in five games (3-1-1). He has a 2.63 GAA and .910 SV% in 31 games this season (13-12-6). The Blackhawks enter Thursday's contest as -113 home favorites against a Calgary Flames team that has lost five of its last six games (1-5-0).

Teravainen exited Monday's 4-1 loss to the Edmonton Oilers late in the first period after only 5:27 time-on-ice because of an upper-body injury. The 31-year-old Finnish forward has 21 points (9G / 12A) in 45 games this season, but has struggled lately, scoring just four points (3G / 1A) in his last 20 games.

Bedard was a surprise scratch on Monday, as he became the latest victim of the flu that's ravaged the Blackhawks dressing room of late. It's an unfortunate break for the young phenom, who has just two games under his belt since returning from the shoulder injury that sidelined him for over a month. That said, Bedard has been outstanding when healthy, scoring 46 points (19G / 27A) through 33 games this season.

Knight did not dress in Chicago's previous two games because of an illness, but he will return to the crease on Monday against the Edmonton Oilers. The 24-year-old Knight has strung together three straight wins, posting a solid 2.74 GAA and .910 SV%. He has a 2.62 GAA and .910 SV% through 30 games this season (13-11-6). The Blackhawks enter Monday's contest as +137 home underdogs against an Oilers team with points in three straight games (2-0-1).

Dach slots into the lineup in place of Connor Bedard, who was a surprise scratch due to an illness. Dach has appeared in 44 games this season, logging three goals and five assists.

Knight did not dress in Chicago's previous two games because of an illness, but he will likely return to the crease on Monday against the Edmonton Oilers.

With Spencer Knight and Arvid Soderblom both dealing with illnesses, Berezhnoy's call-up suggests that neither of them travelled to Nashville for Saturday's game. So look for either Berezhnoy to make his NHL debut or for Drew Commesso to start for a second night in a row.

With an illness circulating around the Blackhawks' dressing room, several players, including Foligno, were game-time decisions on Friday against the Washington Capitals. The 38-year-old Foligno has eight points (1G / 7A) in 21 games this season.

With an illness circulating around the Blackhawks' dressing room, several players, including Mikheyev, were game-time decisions on Friday against the Washington Capitals. The 31-year-old Mikheyev has 14 points (8G / 6A) in 39 games this season.

Spencer Knight is also unavailable due to an illness, so Drew Commesso will get the start for Chicago. The Blackhawks will have Dave Nozzolillo, an EBUG, serve as the backup.

Knight's absence on Friday night was a big surprise after he was previously confirmed to start the game earlier in the day. Arvid Soderblom is also out with an illness, so Drew Commesso, a 23-year-old with just two NHL appearances to his name, will get the call between the pipes.

The illness that's ravaging Chicago's dressing room has apparently reached both Arvid Soderblom and Spencer Knight, as both will be unavailable for Friday's game against the Capitals. Chicago will be forced to turn to Commesso between the pipes, who was recalled from Rockford (AHL) earlier in the day. Commesso has just two NHL appearances to his name, though the 23-year-old does have a .909 SV% in 19 AHL games this season. Chicago enters action on Friday at +110 on the money line.
