Chicago Blackhawks News
Toninato has been recalled from Rockford (AHL).
Toninato is no stranger to the NHL, with 36 points (13G / 23A) in 197 career games, but he has spent most of his career in the AHL. The 32-year-old forward scored 43 points (16G / 27A) last season in 52 games with the Rockford IceHogs (AHL).
Teravainen (lower-body) is out vs. the Islanders on Thursday.
Teravainen exited Tuesday's 4-2 win over the St. Louis Blues after 9:31 time-on-ice due to a lower-body injury. The 32-year-old Finnish forward recorded an assist before leaving the game, giving him two points (0G / 2A) in three games this season.
Goalie Start
Knight led the Blackhawks onto the ice for warmups; he'll start Tuesday vs. St. Louis.
Knight had a solid first full season with the Blackhawks in 2025-26, posting a serviceable 2.82 GAA and .902 SV% in 55 games (19-25-11). That said, the 25-year-old goalie has struggled out of the gate in 2026-27, as has his team, which is still without Connor Bedard (shoulder), posting an ugly 4.04 GAA and .875 SV% in two outings (0-2-0). The Blackhawks aren't expected to be the epitome of team defence this season, but they struggled last year as well, and Knight still performed well, so they will hope he showcases that same talent this year. The Blackhawks enter Tuesday's contest as +127 home favourites against a St. Louis Blues team off to a 1-1-0 start this season.
Del Mastro will be a healthy scratch vs. St. Louis on Tuesday.
Del Mastro will be a healthy scratch on Tuesday to accommodate the return of Bowen Byram (personal). The 23-year-old Del Mastro made his season debut in Chicago's previous game, recording a -2 plus/minus in 15:01 time-on-ice.
Byram (personal) will return vs. St. Louis on Tuesday.
Bowen Byram did not play on Saturday, as he tended to a personal matter, but he was back at practice on Monday, and will return to the lineup on Tuesday. The 25-year-old defenseman is still searching for his first point with the Blackhawks. He is averaging 24:59 time-on-ice and has a -4 plus/minus through two games this season.
Korchinski is expected to be a healthy scratch vs. St. Louis on Tuesday.
Sam Rinzel will return to Chicago's lineup Tuesday against the St. Louis Blues, sending Korchinski to the sidelines as a healthy scratch. The 22-year-old Korchinski played 76 games as a rookie in the 2023-24 season but has played only 30 combined games since.
Line Change
Rinzel will draw back into Chicago's lineup vs. St. Louis on Tuesday.
The Blackhawks defense has struggled early in the 2026-27 season, so they opted to make 22-year-old Rinzel a healthy scratch in their previous game. He is averaging 17:53 time-on-ice and has a -2 plus/minus through two games. Kevin Korchinski will be a healthy scratch to accommodate Rinzel's return to the lineup.
Goalie Start
Knight is in the starters' crease at Chicago's morning skate.
Knight had a solid first full season with the Blackhawks in 2025-26, posting a serviceable 2.82 GAA and .902 SV% in 55 games (19-25-11). That said, the 25-year-old goalie has struggled out of the gate in 2026-27, as has his team, which is still without Connor Bedard (shoulder), posting an ugly 4.04 GAA and .875 SV% in two outings (0-2-0). The Blackhawks aren't expected to be the epitome of team defence this season, but they struggled last year as well, and Knight still performed well, so they will hope he showcases that same talent this year. The Blackhawks enter Tuesday's contest as +127 home favourites against a St. Louis Blues team off to a 1-1-0 start this season.
Mangiapane (lower-body) is considered week-to-week.
Mangiapane suffered a lower-body injury in Chicago's season-opening game and has not played since. The 30-year-old forward was traded to Chicago last season after struggling with the Edmonton Oilers. He ended the 2025-26 season with 16 points (8G / 8A) in 62 games combined between the Blackhawks and Oilers.
Bedard (shoulder) is participating in Chicago's practice on Monday in a non-contact jersey.
Bedard underwent shoulder surgery in early July and was given a four-month recovery timeline, but could be trending toward a sooner-than-expected return after practicing on Monday. The 21-year-old Bedard, the first-overall pick in the 2023 NHL Entry Draft, missed some time last season with a shoulder injury, but was exceptional when healthy, scoring 75 points (30G / 45A) in 69 games.
Byram (personal) returned to practice with Chicago on Monday.
Bowen Byram did not play on Saturday, as he tended to a personal matter, but he was back at practice on Monday. The 25-year-old defenseman is still searching for his first point with the Blackhawks. He is averaging 24:59 time-on-ice and has a -4 plus/minus through two games this season.

Line Change
Teravainen is expected to draw back into Chicago's lineup and make his season debut in Utah on Thursday.
Teravainen was a healthy scratch in Chicago's season opener, a 5-2 loss to the Vegas Golden Knights, but he will draw into the lineup for his season debut on Thursday against the Utah Mammoth. The 32-year-old is entering his 14th NHL season and has not appeared in fewer than 68 games in any of his last five NHL seasons. He is coming off a 14-goal, 35-point campaign across 75 games played in 2025-26.
