CHICAGO BLACKHAWKS NEWS

Connor Bedard - Nearing return to practice Bedard (jaw) will remain in a non-contact jersey for one more week before starting to practice next Monday, Charlie Roumeliotis of NBC Sports Chicago reports.

Impact Bedard appears to be right on track for a six-week return to action after undergoing jaw surgery back in January. The rookie phenom was mired in a five-game goal drought prior to getting hurt, registering just one assist and eight shots during his slump.

Alex Vlasic - Keeps doing his part Vlasic scored in Friday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Rangers.

Impact Vlasic went top shelf to open the scoring in the contest. The 22-year-old has a pair of goals to complement nine assists and a plus-3 rating through 46 games. While that likely isn't enough to appease most fantasy managers, it's a promising output for the young defenseman's future prospects. After all, the 22-year-old seems to be holding his own both offensively and defensively, despite Chicago's current standing as the lowest-ranked team, and one that has an unsightly minus-74 goal differential.

Isaak Phillips - Sneaks in apple Phillips supplied an assist in Friday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Rangers.

Impact Phillips has posted six assists against a minus-20 rating through 28 games. The 22-year-old frequently shuffles between AHL Rockford and the parent club, as the Blackhawks have had to compensate for injuries on the blue line, including a knee issue for Nikita Zaitsev, who's been on injured reserve since Jan. 17. Barring another call-up from the minors, Jarred Tinordi (lower body) -- who was a game-time call against the Rangers but ended up sitting out -- is the lone threat to steal playing time from Phillips once he's fully recovered.

Philipp Kurashev - Rare two-point effort Kurashev put up two assists in Friday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Rangers.

Impact Kurashev continues to add to his career totals, getting at least one point in his second straight game and putting up his first multi-point effort since Dec. 23. His first assist came on Nick Foligno's goal 13:37 into the third period and he followed that up with another helper on the game-tying goal by Jason Dickinson with only 1:02 left that eventually put the game into overtime. The first-line center ended the contest with three shots and a plus-2 rating in 21:34 TOI. Kurashev is on pace to surpass 50 points on the season and he should easily get there while playing in all situations and averaging 18:45 TOI on the season.

Petr Mrazek - Falls in overtime Mrazek made 31 saves in a 4-3 overtime loss against the Rangers on Friday.

Impact After Alex Vlasic gave the Blackhawks an early 1-0 lead, the Rangers scored three consecutive goals on Mrazek before the Blackhawks tied it up late in the third to put the game into overtime. Mika Zibanejad eventually scored on the only shot in the extra period on an assist from Chris Kreider - it was a wrist shot that Mrazek had no chance on. The 31-year old netminder kicked aside all five power-play shots sent his way and finished with an .886 save percentage. Mrazek has started nine out of the past 10 games for the Blackhawks, displaying he is the clear No. 1 option in the crease but he has only produced two wins over that span. The Blackhawks face the Canucks at home Tuesday.

Petr Mrazek - Tending twine Friday Mrazek will patrol the home crease versus the Rangers on Friday, Charlie Roumeliotis of NBC Sports Chicago reports.

Impact Mrazek has allowed two or less goals in eight of his last 10 starts -- giving up only three tallies in each of the other two contests. He is 12-20-1 with a 2.89 GAA and a .910 save percentage. Mrazek has been stellar for a weak Blackhawks team this season. The Rangers are averaging 3.24 goals per game, 12th in the NHL.

Jarred Tinordi - Game-time call Friday Tinordi is dealing with a lower-body injury and will be a game-time decision versus the Rangers on Friday, Charlie Roumeliotis of NBC Sports Chicago reports.

Impact Tinordi already missed 16 games this season due to various injuries and now finds himself in danger of being out of the lineup once again. Considering the blueliner has yet to score a goal in 30 games this season and has garnered just six helpers, the majority of fantasy players are unlikely to be impacted by his potential absence.

Taylor Raddysh - Contributes helper Raddysh logged an assist in Wednesday's 2-1 loss to the Wild.

Impact Raddysh helped out on Nick Foligno's second-period tally. The assist was Raddysh's first point in 11 games since he returned from a groin injury, though the Blackhawks have scored just 11 goals as a team in that span. That lack of offense puts a severe damper on the 25-year-old's current top-six role and power-play usage. He's at 11 points, 78 shots on net, 45 hits and a minus-11 rating through 46 outings overall.

Philipp Kurashev - Matches career high in points Kurashev notched an assist in Wednesday's 2-1 loss to the Wild.

Impact Kurashev set up a Nick Foligno tally in the second period to keep the Blackhawks from getting shut out for a third game in a row. The team has scored three times over the last five contests, with Kurashev earning two assists in that span. That's all of his offense in his last 11 outings. On the year, the 24-year-old has matched his career high with 25 points while adding 81 shots on net, 30 blocked shots and a minus-25 rating through 44 appearances.
