Kaiser will draw back into the Blackhawks lineup on Thursday.
Kaiser was a healthy scratch for the Blackhawks' previous game but will draw back into the lineup Thursday vs. Washington. He will replace Ian Mitchell in Chicago's lineup and will hope to pick up his first career point in only his second career game.
Brossoit (lower-body) travelled on the Golden Knights' three-game road trip.
Brossoit has been sidelined by a lower-body injury since February 25th but travelled to Vancouver for Tuesday's game. Logan Thompson also travelled, and Jiri Patera was sent back to the AHL, suggesting that Brossoit or Thompson are ready to share the crease with Jonathan Quick as soon as Tuesday.

Bertuzzi has struggled with injuries this season, appearing in just 29 games, scoring four goals (6.5 SH%) and 10 assists (14 points). He could make his Bruins debut as soon as Thursday vs. The Sabres.
