Alex Stalock - Suffers loss, gets game misconduct Stalock turned aside 26 of 30 shots before being ejected from Tuesday's 4-1 loss to Dallas.

Impact Stalock first received a two-minute minor for unsportsmanlike conduct midway through the third period after arguing with the official, per Charlie Roumeliotis of NBC Sports Chicago. He later was handed a game misconduct, forcing Petr Mrazek to replace him in net. Chicago was already down 4-1 at that point, and Stalock was charged with the loss, bringing him down to 9-12-1 with a 2.86 GAA and a .913 save percentage in 23 appearances this season. The 35-year-old has lost his last four contests and has surrendered 14 goals in that span.

Petr Mrazek - Makes three saves in relief Mrazek saved the three shots he faced in relief in Chicago's 4-1 loss to Dallas on Tuesday.

Impact Typically when a goaltender enters a contest in relief, it's because the starter was either injured or pulled due to his play. This is a rare exception because Alex Stalock received a game misconduct late in the third period, which forced him to vacate the net. Chicago was already down 4-1 at that point, so Mrazek won't be charged with the loss. The 31-year-old goaltender is 8-20-3 with a 3.61 GAA and an .896 save percentage in 35 outings this season.

Philipp Kurashev - Done for the year Kurashev (shoulder) has been shut down for the remainder of the season, Charlie Roumeliotis of NBC Sports Chicago reports.

Impact Kurashev's shoulder injury won't require surgery, but with the Blackhawks out of playoff contention, the team has decided to shut him down for the final nine games of the regular season. The 23-year-old winger will finish the campaign having picked up nine goals, 25 points and an ugly minus-32 rating while averaging 17:25 of ice time through 70 contests.

Jarred Tinordi - Deemed day-to-day Tinordi is considered day-to-day with a hip injury, Ben Pope of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

Impact Tinordi is expected to miss a few games with his nagging hip issue. He's picked up only eight points through 42 contests this campaign, so most fantasy managers shouldn't need to track his status.

Alex Vlasic - Rises to top level Vlasic was recalled by the Blackhawks on Tuesday.

Impact Although Vlasic's been promoted, at this point it isn't clear if he'll be in the lineup for Tuesday's game versus the Stars. The 21-year-old defender has yet to appear in an NHL contest this season, but he's picked up two goals and 17 points through 52 games with AHL Rockford.

Jonathan Toews - Back on ice Toews (illness) has been skating and could return to practice soon, Scott Powers of The Athletic reports.

Impact It's still unclear if Toews will get back in the lineup before the end of the season, as Chicago has just 10 games remaining. The veteran center hasn't played since Jan. 28, so it's encouraging to see him skating again. He has 28 points this season and is set to become an unrestricted free agent.

MARCH 26, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Andreas Englund - In Sunday's lineup Englund (hamstring) will suit up Sunday against Vancouver, Mark Lazerus of The Athletic reports.

Impact Englund will return after missing the last eight games. Prior to the injury, he was on a 20-game pointless drought and has just three in 36 appearances this season.

MARCH 26, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Buddy Robinson - Sent back down Robinson was reassigned to AHL Rockford on Sunday, per Charlie Roumeliotis of NBC Sports Chicago.

Impact Robinson has averaged 11:39 of ice time in seven games with Chicago, recording 11 hits without logging a point. Robinson's demotion indicates that Philipp Kurashev (upper body) will be ready to play Sunday against Vancouver.

Petr Mrazek - Starting Sunday Mrazek will guard the home net Sunday against Vancouver, Mark Lazerus of The Athletic reports.

Impact Mrazek served as Alex Stalock's backup in Saturday's 3-1 loss to Minnesota after being out with a groin injury since March 14. He has a record of 8-19-3 this season with a 3.63 GAA and an .895 save percentage in 33 appearances. The Canucks rank 11th in the league this campaign with 3.35 goals per game.

Impact Tinordi had two hits and a plus-1 rating through 7:36 of ice time before exiting the contest. The 31-year-old blueliner has eight points in 42 games. An update on his status should be available before Tuesday's matchup against Dallas.

MARCH 26, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Lukas Reichel - Scores in loss Reichel scored a goal on five shots in Sunday's 4-2 loss to the Canucks.

Impact Reichel cut Chicago's deficit to 3-2 late in the third period, stuffing a loose puck past Collin Delia. The 20-year-old Reichel now has five goals and nine points in 17 games this season. While he hasn't provided consistent scoring, the 2020 first-round pick should continue to see first-line usage in Chicago down the stretch.

MARCH 26, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Petr Mrazek - Falls to Vancouver Mrazek allowed three goals on 30 shots in Sunday's 4-2 loss to the Blackhawks.

Impact Mrazek, making his first start since a groin injury sidelined him for six games, held the Canucks scoreless until Phil Di Giuseppe's goal 19:43 into the second period. However, Vancouver would beat Mrazek twice in the third before adding an empty-netter, handing Chicago a 4-2 defeat. The 31-year-old netminder has gone over a month without a win as he falls to 8-20-3 with an .895 save percentage on the season.
