Chicago Blackhawks News

Murphy will miss his second straight game with an upper-body injury that he suffered on Monday vs. the Oilers. He is listed as day-to-day.

Foligno missed just one game after injuring his neck and having to be stretchered off of the ice on Sunday vs. the Kings. It is a pretty miraculous recovery and the Jackets will be glad to get him back because their lineup is ravaged by injuries right now.

Foligno was on the ice for the Blue Jackets practice this morning and took line rushes, which is a good sign that he could be available on Friday. This would be rather impressive considering he was stretchered off of the ice less than a week ago. His return would definitely help an extremely depleted Blue Jackets lineup.

Foligno said he is feeling fine despite being stretchered off of the ice on Sunday. He is likely a little stiff and that should keep him off of the ice for a few days, but the news is positive for what was a scary incident. He is day-to-day.

Foligno was knocked out in a collision with the linesman on Sunday night and had to be stretchered off of the ice. He said that he had lost feeling in the one side of his body but it came back quickly. He underwent an MRI and X-rays on Monday and everything came back negative. He was diagnosed with a "stinger" and is day-to-day.

Foligno's head collided with a linesman's body when he was rubbed out by Jeff Carter in Sunday's game. Foligno was laying facedown on the ice and had to be stretchered off. It was a scary scene and likely an injury that will sideline Foligno for a lengthy period of time.

Bertuzzi, 19, is the nephew of former Red Wing Todd Bertuzzi and was the Wings' second round pick (58th overall) in 2013. He is in his fourth season with the Guelph Storm of the OHL and has started the season with one goal and four assists (five points) in six games. He had 34 points (9G / 25A) in 29 games last year.

Foligno hopes to be back for Game 3 in Columbus.

Foligno missed the last six games of the regular season and will miss Game 1. He is expected to be back in the lineup at some point in the first round, but will not be there on Wednesday.

Teravainen has only played in three games since arriving to Chicago. He has not recorded a point, only four shots and one hit. Sending him to the AHL will give him a chance to play a bunch on minutes and get more acclimated with the North American game. There's no doubting this kid's talent, but he won't improve by sitting in the press box every night. He is a top prospect, with a very bright future ahead of him.

Foligno was injured in Thursday's 2-0 win over the Flyers. The Blue Jackets have just six games left in the regular season, so it looks like he will sit and hope they make the playoffs so he can return and help his squad.

Teravainen will slide out of the lineup in the second game of a back-to-back which means Peter Regin will dress. #TeuvoMania has averaged 12:44 TOI with no shots, no penalty minutes and no points in his first two NHL games. He is not showing up on the stat sheet yet, but the Blackhawks are pleased with the young Finns playmaking ability and are simply giving him the night off.

Teravainen is expected to open up his NHL career as the third line centre with Brandon Saad and Ben Smith on his wings. He come over from Finland where he finished tied for sixth in the league with 44 regular-season points. He had nine goals and 35 assists in 49 games.

After sitting on Sunday, it looks like Teravainen will slide into the lineup tonight vs. the Stars. There is no word what line he will play on, but we will update when the Blackhawks hit the ice for their gameday skate.

Teravainen will also be a healthy scratch for the second consecutive game. Head coach Joel Quenneville said Teravainen will likely make his NHL debut against the Dallas Stars on Tuesday. Teravainen was recalled from Jokerit in Finland's Liiga on Friday.

It is very unlikely that Teravainen will be in the lineup on Friday, but with the injury to Patrick Kane (knee), it definitely opens the door for the talented Finn to potentially move into a top-6 role relatively quickly. He is undersized, but tremendously skilled, something other NHL teams probably don't think the Blackhawks need.

The 19-year-old Teravainen is considered the organization's top prospect. He completed his season in Finland on Sunday when his team, Jokerit, was eliminated from the playoffs in the Liiga. He finished tied for sixth in the league with 44 regular-season points. He had nine goals and 35 assists in 49 games. The Blackhawks may choose to be careful in rushing Teravainen to the NHL to give him time to adjust to being in the United States and reduce any high expectations placed on him right away. However, the injury to Patrick Kane last night, could open the door for Teravainen.

Teravainen, 19, was drafted by the Blackhawks in the first round (19th overall) in 2012, had nine goals and 35 assists (44 points) in 48 games with Jokerit this season. . He signed an entry-level deal with the Blackhawks in August. According to a source, Finland is expected to give Teravainen its blessing to play for the Blackhawks and provide him an opportunity to be a part of the Stanley Cup playoffs instead of asking him to play for his country in the World Championship.

Weber participated in the Predators morning skate which is a good sign that he will be in the lineup tonight. Monitor his status around 7:30 p.m. EST when warmups is scheduled to start.

Weber was injured on Tuesday, but his presence on ice this morning suggests that he will be in the lineup tonight vs. New Jersey. Expect an update after the skate.
