Teuvo Teravainen News

Teravainen missed Tuesday’s morning skate with an illness, but he was on the ice for Wednesday’s morning skate and will be in the lineup vs. the Flyers. The Blackhawks will shake up their lines tonight and Teravainen is expected to skate with Andrew Ladd and Andrew Shaw. He has 11 goals and 19 assists (30 points) in 66 games this season.

Teravainen missed Tuesday's practice with an illness, but could play Wednesday vs. the Flyers. He is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game, so monitor his status during Wednesday's morning skate.

Teravainen has missed the last three games with an upper-body injury, but it looks like he could return tonight in Anaheim. Teravainen has nine points (4G / 5A) in 18 games this season.

Teravainen had one assist in two games in the first round but it looks like he will be in the lineup for Game 1 on Friday. With Teravainen likely back in, look for Kris Versteeg to be a healthy scratch.

Teravainen was a healthy scratch on Friday, but head coach Joel Quenneville wants to shake his lineup up on Sunday, which means Teravainen in and Bryan Bickell likely out. Teravainen was centring the second line with Antoine Vermette and Brandon Saad as well as playing on the Hawks second power-play unit.

After losing Patrick Kane for what could be the remainder of the season, the Hawks made their first move to try and replace that hole, by recalling Teravainen. The 20-year-old has two goals and two assists in 15 games with the Blackhawks this season. While in Rockford, he has 25 points (6G / 19A) in 39 games.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Teravainen will be heading back to Finland this season but is a sleeper name worth stashing in deep dynasty leagues as he's been impressing veterans like Patrick Kane in camp.
