Chicago Blackhawks News

Burakovsky was a plus-2 in 9:52 on Wednesday, but will come out of the lineup in favour of Tom Wilson tonight vs. the Kings.

Khudobin gave up five goals on 31 shots in the Hurricanes loss in Anaheim on February 3rd. He was the backup for the last three games, but will start tonight in Minnesota. Khudobin has gone 3-5-3 with a 2.87 GAA and .903 SV% on the road this season.

Murphy missed Tuesday’s game in St. Louis, but will be back in tonight vs. the Sharks. Murphy has no points in his last eight games and has just six points (3G / 3A) in 49 games this season.

With Kris Versteeg back in the lineup, Teravainen was a healthy scratch on Wednesday. The 20-year-old had two goals and two assists in 15 games during his recall. He returns to the AHL where he has tallied six goals and 17 assists (23 points) in 33 games.

After tonight’s game, the Kings return home to take on the Flames on Thursday, so with Martinez not playing it made sense to send him home and let him rest. He is day-to-day with concussion-like symptoms.

Martinez was crunched by Cedric Paquette on Saturday. Coach Sutter said the Kings have to be “careful and cautious” which would dictate that Martinez will not be in the lineup on Monday vs. the Blue Jackets. With Martinez likely out, expect Brayden McNabb to be back in the lineup.

Burakovsky was sent down yesterday in order for the Capitals to recall Philipp Grubauer, who was given the start last night. Burakovsky should be back in the Capitals lineup on Sunday vs. Philadelphia.

It seems like the Capitals really wanted to start Philipp Grubauer tonight vs. the Ducks. They recalled him this morning and sent Burakovsky down to make room for him. The call-up is not expected to be long-term, so expect Burakovsky back soon.

Khudobin was pulled after giving up two goals on three shots in the Hurricanes shootout loss to the Blues last Friday. It was a rough outing for Khudobin, who was riding a three-game winning streak entering Friday. He will get a chance to bounce-back, but it won’t be easy as he gets set to take on the Ducks in Anaheim.

Khudobin stopped 28 of 30 shots in the Hurricanes 4-2 win over the Lightning on Tuesday. Khudobin has grabbed the number-1 job and run with it. He has won six consecutive starts with a 1.44 GAA and .946 SV%. Despite his recent run, he draws a terrible matchup against a Blues team who are 7-0-1 in their last eight.

Khudobin made 34 saves on 35 shots in the Hurricanes win in Toronto in their final game before the All Star break. He has won four straight starts while points a 1.34 GAA and .950 SV%. He draws a rough matchup tonight vs. the Lightning and their league leading 3.21 goals per game.

Khudobin allowed two goals on 32 shots in Saturday’s win in Ottawa. That marks his fourth straight win and he will get a shot for his fifth consecutive win tonight in Toronto. During his four-game winning streak he has posted a 1.41 GAA and .941 SV%. He faces a Maple Leafs team who have on goal in their last four games.

After going winless in his first 10 starts, Khudobin has stopped 37 of 39 shots (.949 SV%) to earn back-to-back wins. Tonight he will face an Avalanche team at home where he is 1-3-0 despite posting a 1.75 GAA and .929 SV%.

Burakovsky, who served as a healthy scratch during the Winter Classic and has only played in two of the last eight games, skated on the top-line in practice on Saturday morning. It looks like he will go from the doghouse to the penthouse. He has 13 points (4G / 9A) in 28 games this season.

Teravainen, 20, has six goals and 17 assists in 33 games with the IceHogs this season. After a slow start as he adapted to the North American style of play (particularly the dump-and-chase style of the AHL), he had three goals and seven assists in his last 10 games.
