Teravainen will be a healthy scratch on Friday.

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.

Khudobin will be in net for the Hurricanes.

Khudobin stopped 21 of 23 shots he faced after replacing Cam Ward real early in Tuesday's 5-4 loss to the Isles. Khudobin has gone 2-5-0 with a 2.55 GAA and .927 SV% in March, and has only won twice in his last 11 outings. Tonight, he faces a Panthers team he is 2-0-0 against this season.

Teravainen confirms that he will make his NHL debut on Tuesday.

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.

Khudobin will be in goal vs. the Blackhawks.

Khudobin stopped 46 of 47 shots in a 3-1 win over the Blue Jackets on Tuesday. After a three-game losing streak, Khudobin turned in a fabulous performance. He will need to be top-form again tonight as he gets set to take on the Blackhawks. One positive for Khudobin, is the Hawks will be without Patrick Kane, Brandon Saad and Bryan Bickell tonight.

Teravainen was officially recalled from Jokerit of SM-Liija in Finland, as the Blackhawks prepare to host the Carolina Hurricanes 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.

Teuvo Teravainen
Teravainen is scheduled to arrive in Chicago from Finland on Thursday, but he is not expected to join the team immediately.

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.
