Chicago Blackhawks News

Donato has appeared in 25 of 27 games this season but will be replaced by Victor Rask on Tuesday. Donato has picked up two goals and one assist in his last four games.

Khudobin allowed two goals on 37 shots in the Stars loss in Chicago last Tuesday. Ben Bishop has started three out of the last four games but Khudobin will make his 10th start of the season on Tuesday. He was 4-1-1 with a 1.76 GAA and .949 SV% in November and allowed three goals on 29 shots in a 3-2 OT loss in his first start in Winnipeg.

The Blackhawks were extremely vague when they released Shaw's update, simply stating that he will not play vs. St. Louis and is undergoing further evaluation. Shaw's injury puts Chicago in a very difficult spot as they will have to play short a forward tonight with Dylan Strome still out and not enough cap-space to call-up a forward from Rockford (AHL).

Brossoit allowed three goals on 30 shots in the Jets loss to the Blue Jackets last Saturday. The loss snapped a brief two-game winning streak for Brossoit, who comes into Saturday at 3-1-0 with a. 3.25 GAA and .895 SV% on the road. The Kings are scoring 3.14 goals per game on home-ice this season, so Brossoit doesn't have a lot of spot-start intrigue tonight.

Saarijarvi was a third-round pick (No.73 overall) in 2015 and never really got things going in the AHL. After posting 31 points (11G / 20A) in 34 games in his final OHL season, Saarijarvi posted just 28 points (2G / 26A) in 125 AHL games. He will report to Tucson (AHL).

Martinez sustained a laceration to his right wrist on Monday night and underwent successful surgery to repair a radial artery and two superficial radial nerves. Martinez will likely miss at least a couple of weeks and will be re-evaluated after that.

Brodie is listed as a game-time decision but activating him from IR all but guarantees that he will play on Monday. Brodie, who has missed the last five games, returns with eight assists in 21 games this season.

Brodie skated on the top-pair with Mark Giordano at the Flames morning skate and head coach Bill Peters called him a game-time decision for Monday's game. Brodie has missed the last five games after collapsing at practice on November 14th, but all signs are pointing towards him returning to the lineup tonight.

Brodie will miss his fifth straight game on Saturday but the fact that he is joining the team in Philadelphia is fantastic news. Brodie fainted on the ice last week and has undergone a large number of tests since. Being cleared to travel and join the team is a good sign that he is feeling much better.

Foligno will replace Riley Nash in his return to the lineup and will look to get things going offensively. Foligno has scored just one goal with six assists in 17 games this season.

Brodie collapsed on the ice during Thursday's practice and was rushed to the hospital. After undergoing a variety of tests, all of which came back negative, Brodie was released from the hospital. At this time, the Flames medical staff believe it was a "fainting episode" and nothing more serious. Brodie will continue to be evaluated and will undergo more tests, so there is no timetable for his return at this point.

Khudobin allowed three goals on 29 shots in the Stars loss in Winnipeg on Sunday. The loss snapped a three-game winning streak for Khudobin, who is 1-2-1 with a. 2.77 GAA and .917 SV% on the road this season. Tonight he faces a Canucks team in a bit of a slump, having lost four of their last five (1-3-1).

Brossoit allowed three goals on 26 shots in the Jets win in Vegas on started the last four games but Brossoit will give him the night off in Florida. He is 2-1-0 with a 3.32 GAA and .887 SV% on the road this season and isn't a good option against a Panthers team that is 4-1-1 in their last six.
