Sanford will take a seat on Friday as Rem Pitlick will slide into the lineup in his place. Sanford has no goals and five assists in 23 games this season.

Crevier will make his first appearance since January 24th as he fills in for the injured Jarred Tinordi (lower-body). Crevier has no goals and three assists in 15 games this season.

Brossoit will tend the twine on Thursday in an attempt to snap a four-game losing streak for the Jets. Brossoit has been sensational when called upon this season, highlighted by a multi-week stretch where he has posted a 4-0-1 record, allowing fewer than three goals in each contest and posting a dazzling .951 SV%. The Jets look poised to get back into the win column as -136 road favourites against a Philadelphia Flyers club that snapped a five-game losing skid in their last outing.

Maroon left January 27th's game against the Ducks after just four minutes of ice-time due to the back injury and did not return. The four-to-six week time-line puts him on track to return near the end of March.

Crevier last played for the Blackhawks on January 24th and was a healthy scratch in their two following games leading up to the All-Star break. Crevier has no goals and three assists in 15 games this season.

Maroon was limited to only 4:15 time-on-ice before exiting Minnesota's last game with an upper-body injury. In his last five games, Maroon has two points (0G / 2A) and four hits.

Bertuzzi will likely return to the Maple Leafs' lineup on Saturday against the Winnipeg Jets after missing the previous contest to attend to the birth of his child. Bertuzzi had one point in his previous contest to snap a three-game pointless skid.

Crevier will take a seat on Thursday as Isaak Phillips is set to take his place in the lineup. Crevier has no goals and three assists in 15 games this season.

Reichel will fill in for Rem Pitlick, who will be a healthy scratch on Thursday. Reichel has three goals and six assists in 45 games this season.

Petr Mrazek was rewarded with a two-year contract extension on Wednesday, but the Blackhawks will turn to Soderblom between the pipes for only his second start in the last two weeks. Despite his lack of play, Soderblom has been serviceable lately, allowing three or fewer goals in his last three starts (0-3-0) and posting a solid .918 SV%. That said, the Blackhawks are +262 road underdogs against a Seattle Kraken team outscored 15-5 in their last four games (0-4-0).

Bertuzzi was not at practice on Tuesday and will be away from the team again on Wednesday, missing the Maple Leafs contest against the Winnipeg Jets to attend to the birth of his child. Bertuzzi had one point in the Maple Leafs' previous contest, snapping a three-game pointless skid.

After serving as the backup for four straight games (2-2-0), Brossoit will return to the crease on Wednesday against the Toronto Maple Leafs. Brossoit has been tremendous between the pipes for the Jets lately, allowing two or fewer goals in six straight (5-1-0), boasting a dazzling .952 SV%.

Bertuzzi did not practice on Tuesday to attend to the birth of his child, but he could be ready to play on Wednesday against the Winnipeg Jets. Bertuzzi had one point in the Maple Leafs' previous contest, snapping a three-game pointless skid.

Soderstrom was recalled from the Tuscon Roadrunners on Tuesday, a move prompted by Matt Dumba exiting Monday night's contest against the Pittsburgh Penguins with an upper-body injury. Soderstrom was the 11th overall pick of the Coyotes in the 2019 NHL Entry Draft and has spent this entirety of the season in the AHL, recording 21 points (8G / 13A) in 38 games.

The move was retroactive to January 16th. Murphy has played all 43 games for the Blackhawks this season, scoring eight points (2G / 6A), tallying 93 hits, and 105 blocks.

Reichel has played every game since December 3rd but will join Cole Guttman as a healthy scratch to allow Ryan Donato and Nick Foligno to make their returns to the lineup. Reichel has only one point (0G / 1A) in his last 11 games.

Guttman has been in the lineup for 12 of the last 13 games but will join Lukas Reichel as a healthy scratch to allow Ryan Donato and Nick Foligno to make their returns to the lineup. The 24-year-old Guttman has eight points (4G / 4A) in 27 games this season.

Lukas Reichel and Cole Guttman will be healthy scratches on Monday as Donato will return to the lineup after a two-game absence. Donato recorded an assist in his last outing, snapping an 11-game pointless skid.

Foligno will return to the lineup for the first time in eight games, playing his first game since signing a two-year, $9 million ($4,500,000 AAV) contract extension. Foligno has made an impact in his first season with the Blackhawks, scoring 17 points (8G / 9A) in 39 games, his best point-per-game pace (0.44) in five seasons.
