Chicago Blackhawks News

Murphy was a bit of a surprise scratch on Tuesday but Chicago announced that he'll miss at least 10 days with a hip injury. This is a huge loss for Chicago, who had Lucas Carlsson replace him in the top-4 a couple of nights ago.

This is terrible news for Shaw, who has a long history of concussion issues. This could keep Shaw sidelined long-term and opens the door for Lucas Wallmark to be back in on Thursday.

Sanford missed Friday's practice with an undisclosed issue, which the Blues have now revealed is a non-COVID related illness. With Sanford out, Mike Hoffman will move up to the top line with Ryan O'Reilly.

Khudobin allowed three goals on 40 shots in the Stars loss in Carolina on Sunday. After getting the night off on Tuesday, Khudobin will make his sixth start of the season Thursday in Columbus. The 34-year-old netminder has gone 3-1-1- with a 2.17 GAA and .922 SV% in his first five starts.

Bertuzzi, who was hurt last Saturday vs. the Panthers, did not travel to start the Red Wings six-game road-trip. Head coach Jeff Blashill said he'll definitely be out for the first four games of the trip and may miss all six. This is a tough break for Bertuzzi, who was red-hot to start the season, posting seven points (5G / 2A) in his first nine games.

Teravainen has been out since January 18th but is set to return to the lineup Tuesday in Chicago. Teravainen missed time on the COVID-19 reserve list but should re-claim his spot on the Hurricanes' top-line with Sebastian Aho on Tuesday.

Brossoit allowed four goals on 38 shots in the Jets loss to the Oilers on January 24th. Tuesday will be his third start of the season and he's looking for better results than his first two outings--he allowed a combined seven goals on 79 shots (.911 SV%). He draws a tough assignment vs. a Flames team that is 4-3-1 while averaging 2.88 goals per game through eight games.

Bertuzzi was forced to leave Saturday's overtime loss with an upper-body injury and his status for Sunday's game is up in the air. With Bertuzzi hurt, Givani Smith was recalled from the taxi squad and would replace him if he's unavailable.

Khudobin allowed one goal on 21 shots in the Stars win over the Red Wings on Tuesday. Jake Oettinger gave him a breather on Thursday but it will be Khudobin tonight in Carolina. He picked up right where he left off in the bubble, winning each of his first three starts while posting a sparkling 0.99 GAA, .958 SV% and one shutout in his first three outings. Tonight he'll take on a Hurricanes team that is coming off of a great win over the Lighting on Thursday and sit at 3-1-0 through four games.

Teravainen was activated on Friday and was on the ice for an optional practice, suggesting that he could be available for Saturday's home game vs. the Stars. Teravainen figures to reclaim his spot on the top line next to Sebastian Aho and enters play with two assists in three games this season.

Anderson was acquired from the Devils this offseason in a trade that sent Andreas Johnsson the other way. After sitting as a healthy scratch for the first seven games of the season, Anderson will replace Alexander Barabanov on the fourth line on Tuesday. Anderson has 13 points (8G / 5A) in 52 career NHL games.
