Teravainen (concussion) is expected to return to the Hurricanes lineup on Thursday.

Teravainen has missed the last seven games with a concussion but appears poised to return to the lineup on Thursday. Teravainen skated with Sebastian Aho and Andrei Svechnikov in the morning skate, so he should be active with a plus matchup with the Red Wings in town.

Grzelcyk (lower-body) will not play on Friday but is a possibility for Sunday.

Grzelcyk has been out since February 10th but is on the current road trip and head coach Bruce Cassidy said that he could be back on Sunday. With Grzelcyk still out on Friday, Urho Vaakanien, Jakub Zboril and John Moore will remain in the lineup but a decision will need to be made on Sunday.

Murphy (right hip) was activated from IR and could return to the Blackhawks lineup on Tuesday.

Murphy has been out since February 7th with a hip injury but was activated from IR on Monday. Head coach Jeremy Colliton would not commit to him playing on Tuesday, so monitor his status during the morning skate, but all signs are pointing towards him suiting up in Columbus.

Bertuzzi (upper-body) is expected to miss at least the next 4-6 games.

Bertuzzi, who was hurt last Saturday vs. the Panthers, did not travel to start the Red Wings six-game road-trip. Head coach Jeff Blashill said he'll definitely be out for the first four games of the trip and may miss all six. This is a tough break for Bertuzzi, who was red-hot to start the season, posting seven points (5G / 2A) in his first nine games.

Brossoit will start Tuesday vs. the Flames.

Brossoit allowed four goals on 38 shots in the Jets loss to the Oilers on January 24th. Tuesday will be his third start of the season and he's looking for better results than his first two outings--he allowed a combined seven goals on 79 shots (.911 SV%). He draws a tough assignment vs. a Flames team that is 4-3-1 while averaging 2.88 goals per game through eight games.
