Nick Foligno - Back with team Foligno (personal) returned to practice Thursday and should be available against the Predators on Friday, Charlie Roumeliotis of NBC Sports Chicago reports.

Impact Foligno didn't play Wednesday while attending to a personal matter but was back on the ice ahead of Friday's matchup.

Impact St. Louis scored on its first four shots of the night, jumping out to a 4-0 lead before seven minutes had elapsed, and the last of those wound up on Soderblom's ledger.

Petr Mrazek - Gets early hook Wednesday Mrazek failed to stop any of the three shots he faced before being replaced by Arvid Soderblom early in the first period of Wednesday's 5-2 loss to the Blues.

Impact Soderblom was also beaten on the first shot he saw, and the first two goals against Mrazek came on egregious defensive breakdowns by Chicago, so this was really a total team effort. Mrazek had been playing pretty well coming into Wednesday, and over his last 10 outings he carries a 5-4-0 record with a 2.86 GAA and .911 save percentage.

Considering the Blackhawks are registering just 2.18 goals per game this season, the fewest in the NHL, Soderblom would have to be nearly perfect to put together some wins given the lack of offensive support.
