Grzelcyk was limited to only 35 seconds on the ice, exiting the game with a lower-body injury after receiving a slash to his leg from Ryan McLeod of the Edmonton Oilers in his first shift. The 30-year-old defenseman has zero points in his last 12 games.

Phil Di Giuseppe will be a healthy scratch on Thursday, allowing Lafferty to re-enter the lineup. Before being a healthy scratch on Tuesday, Lafferty played in four straight for the Canucks, registering zero points, a -2 plus minute, four shots, and four hits.

Soderblom has been limited to only one start in the last eight games for the Blackhawks but will return to the crease on Wednesday. The Swedish netminder has failed to record a victory in his last 12 appearances (0-10-1) for the bottom-dwelling Blackhawks, posting an ugly .864 SV% while allowing three or more goals in all but two contests. The Blackhawks are +168 home underdogs against a Philadelphia Flyers club riding a two-game losing skid.

Isaak Phillips will draw into the lineup on Wednesday in favour of Crevier after he suffered an upper-body injury at practice on Tuesday. Crevier had appeared in five straight games for the Blackhawks, registering a -3 plus/minus, four shots, and seven hits.

Lafferty will be the odd-man out on Tuesday as the Canucks looks to get some fresh legs in their lineup for the tail-end of their back-to-back. Arshdeep Bains will make his NHL debut in place of Lafferty.

Bedard has not played since the beginning of January after taking a heavy open-ice hit from the Devils' Brendan Smith, forcing him to leave the game. The 18-year-old Bedard was having a solid rookie campaign with 33 points (15G / 18A) in 39 games and was well on track to capturing the Calder Trophy before his injury. Bedard will return to receiving top-line and top-powerplay deployment immediately when he returns to the Blackhawks' lineup on Thursday.

Soderblom will make his first start since January 24th as he takes on the Pittsburgh Penguins on Thursday. The 24-year-old has been historically horrendous this season, with his 2-15-1 record, 4.07 GAA and .874 SV%. He will face the Pittsburgh Penguins, who are on the back half of a back-to-back and have lost three straight games after getting news Thursday that their leading scoring Jake Guentzel will now miss the next four weeks.

Lafferty will get the chance to play against his former team on Tuesday as Nils Aman will be the odd-man out upfront. Lafferty has ten goals and ten assists in 51 games this season.

Toninato has cleared waivers for the second time this season and will be reassigned to the Manitoba Moose of the AHL, a move designed to create space for David Gustafsson, who has been activated off IR. In 15 games this season, the 29-year-old Toninato has four points (1G / 4A) while averaging 10:11 time-on-ice.
