Anderson leads the Marlies with 26 goals, adding 16 assists (42 points) in 55 games. The 23-year-old has 13 points (8G / 5A) in 57 career NHL games to date.
The Blackhawks acquired Lafferty from the Penguins for Alex Nylander in early-January and the 27-year-old had five goals with six assists (11 points) in 45 games with Chicago. Lafferty was set to become a UFA at the end of the season.
Grzelcyk missed Tuesday's game vs. the Blues but is expected to replace Brandon Carlo (undisclosed) in the lineup on Thursday. Grzelcyk has scored four goals with 18 assists in 65 games this season but has just two points (1G / 1A) in his last 12 games.
Grzelcyk suffered an upper-body injury early in Sunday's game in Washington and will not play vs. the Blues. Head coach Bruce Cassidy said that he "feels a little better" but will miss at least one game.
Grzelcyk played just 3:11 TOI in Washington on Sunday before suffering an upper-body injury. The Bruins have plenty of depth on the blueline, so they'll be able to survive without Grzelcyk in the short term but they will be hoping this isn't a long-term injury.
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.
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.
