Knight will start Thursday in Florida.
Bertuzzi joined the Red Wings in Seattle and is expected to play on Saturday.
Bertuzzi had to miss the Red Wings' western Canada trip due to being unvaccinated but joined the team in Seattle for Saturday's game. He should be back in the top-6 and top power-play unit.
Line Change
Vlasic will make his NHL debut on Saturday.
Vlasic was a second-round pick of the Blackhawks in 2019 and is set to make his NHL debut after finishing his third year at Boston University. The towering (6-foot-6, 199 lbs.) defenseman had eight points (1G / 7A) and 31 PIMS in 32 games with Boston University this season. He'll start out on the third pair with Erik Gustafsson.
The Blackhawks placed Connor Murphy (concussion) on IR.
Murphy's move to IR is retroactive to March 12th, so he's eligible to return whenever he's back to 100 percent. In addition to Murphy, Tyler Johnson (concussion) was also placed on IR on Friday.
