Soderblom has five goals, three assists, 30 SOG and eight PIMs through 20 games but will be a healthy scratch Friday as Detroit takes on Florida. Adam Erne will be replacing him in the lineup.

Kane left Chicago's previous contest vs. Tampa Bay after just 13 shifts and 12:57 TOI due to an undisclosed injury and will sit out Friday as well. Kane has stated it is not a bad injury, just a lingering one, which is good news as the 34-year-old is leading the Blackhawks in both points (27) and assists (20) this season.

Gibson allowed four goals on 33 shots (.879 SV%) for his fourth loss in five starts as he was defeated by Philadelphia in his previous start.

He faces the Dallas Stars, who just snapped a four-game winning streak with a 3-2 loss to Los Angeles in their previous game.
