Mrazek struggled in his last game, allowing five goals on 35 shots (.857 SV%), but will likely return to the crease on Wednesday against the Boston Bruins. Despite his recent blip, Mrazek has been solid between the pipes this season, posting a 2.79 GAA and .908 SV% in 18 games (7-10-1). The Blackhawks, losers of three straight, enter Wednesday's contest as +130 home underdogs against a Bruins club riding a two-game winning streak.

Nolan Allan will return from a three-game absence, sending Crevier to the press box as a healthy scratch. The 23-year-old Crevier has been limited to only four games this season, averaging 16:07 time-on-ice, recording one point (1G / 0A) and a -2 plus/minus.

Louis Crevier will exit the lineup on Monday, allowing Allan to draw back in after a three-game absence. The 21-year-old Allen is averaging 13:44 time-on-ice in his rookie season, scoring four points (0G / 4A).

On the tail end of a back-to-back, the Blackhawks will turn to Soderblom between the pipes for the first time in two weeks. The 25-year-old Soderblom has been limited to only six games this season (1-4-0), as a result of strong play from starting netminder Petr Mrazek, despite posting a solid 2.36 GAA and .926 SV%. The Blackhawks enter Monday's contest as significant +358 road underdogs against the Toronto Maple Leafs.

Mrazek is arguably amid the best season of his career and will return to the crease on Friday. The 32-year-old Mrazek is sporting a 2.63 GAA and .912 SV% in 16 games this season (7-8-1). The last time Mrazek showcased numbers that strong over a full season was in 2018-19 when he posted a 2.39 GAA and .914 SV% in 40 games (23-14-3) with the Carolina Hurricanes. The Blackhawks enter Friday's contest as sizeable +226 road underdogs against the Minnesota Wild.

The Blackhawks signed Brossoit to a two-year deal worth $6.6 million ($3.3M AAV) in the offseason. The 31-year-old Brossoit has suffered a setback in his return to action after underdoing an additional procedure and will be out of the lineup for approximately six more weeks.

Allan will take a seat when Chicago hosts the Stars on Wednesday. Wyatt Kaiser will draw into the lineup in his place.

Philipp Kurashev will draw back into the lineup for the Blackhawks on Wednesday against the Dallas Stars, resulting in Anderson being a healthy scratch for the first time in eight games. The 26-year-old Anderson is averaging 14:36 time-on-ice and has one point (0G / 1A) in 12 games this season.

Despite placing second on the Blackhawks with 54 points (18G / 36A) last season, Kurashev was a healthy scratch in their most recent game. The 25-year-old Kurashev only has four points (3G / 1A) in 18 games this season. Joey Anderson will exit the lineup on Wednesday to make way for Kurashev.

Wyatt Kaiser will draw back into the lineup for the Blackhawks on Wednesday against the Dallas Stars, sending Crevier to the press box as a healthy scratch. The 23-year-old Crevier made his season debut on Saturday, playing 17:27 time-on-ice, recording two blocks, and three hits.

The Blackhawks have been off since Saturday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Philadelphia Flyers and will roll with Mrazek between the pipes for a third straight game when the team visits the Dallas Stars. Mrazek is having his best season since being a member of the Carolina Hurricanes in the 2020-21 season, posting a 2.68 GAA and .912 SV% in 15 games (6-8-1). That said, the Blackhawks enter Wednesday's contest as sizeable +196 home underdogs against a Dallas Stars team that has already defeated them twice this season.
