Chicago Blackhawks News

Knight had a rough outing on Saturday against his former team, the Florida Panthers, allowing four goals on 24 shots (.833 SV%) in a 5-1 loss. That said, he has been a stabilizing factor between the pipes for the Blackhawks in recent weeks, posting a solid 2.44 GAA and .919 SV% in his last seven games (4-3-0). That said, the Blackhawks enter Tuesday's contest as +175 road underdogs against a Minnesota Wild team that has lost four of its last eight games (4-2-2).

Lardis was a third-round draft pick in the 2023 NHL Entry Draft and has been effective in his first stint at the NHL level. The 20-year-old forward has seven points (5G / 2A) in 21 games with the Blackhawks.

Teravainen has not played in two weeks because of an upper-body injury, but could return to the lineup on Tuesday against the Minnesota Wild. The 31-year-old Finnish forward has 21 points (9G / 12A) in 45 games this season, but has struggled lately, scoring just four points (3G / 1A) in his last 20 games.

Mangiapane has been a healthy scratch several times over the past few weeks and will return to the press box on Monday. The 29-year-old Mangiapane has 12 points (6G / 6A) in 47 games this season and has not been able to add the secondary scoring touch that the team hoped for when they acquired him in the offseason. He has two points (2G / 0A) in his last 19 games.

Knight stopped 28 of 31 shots in the Blackhawks' shootout win in Carolina on Thursday. He was given Friday night off, but he'll be back between the pipes on Sunday when they host the Panthers, as +118 home underdogs. Knight has played well in January, winning five of his seven starts while posting a 2.25 GAA and .924 SV%. In his only start against the Panthers since being traded to Chicago, Knight allowed three goals on 37 shots in a 3-2 loss.

The Blackhawks are on the tail-end of a back-to-back on Friday, so it will be Soderblom who gets the unfortunate task of taking on the Lightning. Soderblom struggled in his last start, surrendering five goals on 23 shots in a 5-2 loss to the Bruins on Saturday. The 26-year-old netminder brings a 5-8-1 record and an .868 SV% into Friday night's matchup, where the Hawks enter action at +240 on the money line.

Knight is coming off his third shutout of the season, an outstanding 32-save performance in a 2-0 win over the Winnipeg Jets, and will return to the crease on Thursday against the Carolina Hurricanes. The 24-year-old Knight has strung together an impressive 1.98 GAA and .935 SV% in his last five games (3-2-0). That said, the Blackhawks enter Thursday's contest as significant +255 road underdogs against a Hurricanes team that has outscored its opposition 15-3 during a three-game winning streak.

Lafferty will make his first appearance since December 28th, as he slots into the lineup in place of Andre Burakovsky (illness). Lafferty has just one goal and one assist in 17 games this season.

Burakovsky has been absent from practice and will miss Monday's game against the Winnipeg Jets due to an illness. The 30-year-old Burakovsky snapped a four-game scoreless skid with an assist in Saturday's 5-2 loss to the Boston Bruins. He has 30 points (10G / 20A) in 43 games this season.

Knight has lost two straight (0-2-0), but given his team a chance to win in both outings, as he has most of the season, saving 53 of 58 combined shots (.914 SV%).

Curtis Lazar will draw back into Edmonton's lineup on Thursday against the New York Islanders, sending Mangiapane to the press box as a healthy scratch. The 29-year-old Mangiapane has not been effective offensively for the Oilers and has found himself as a healthy scratch several times in the past few weeks. He has 11 points (5G / 6A) in 42 games this season.

Bedard was a surprise scratch on Monday, as he became the latest victim of the flu that's ravaged the Blackhawks dressing room of late. It's an unfortunate break for the young phenom, who had just two games under his belt since returning from the shoulder injury that sidelined him for over a month. That said, Bedard has been outstanding when healthy, scoring 46 points (19G / 27A) through 33 games this season. He returns to the lineup on Thursday against the Calgary Flames, looking to continue his exceptional season.
