Petr Mrazek - Tending twine Thursday Mrazek will defend the cage on the road against the Rangers on Thursday, Scott Powers of The Athletic reports.
Impact Mrazek has given up 11 goals on 66 shots (.833 save percentage) in his last two outings, which led to him watching from the bench versus Nashville on Tuesday. Still, with Arvid Soderblom winless in his last eight contests, the Hawks don't have much choice other than sticking with Mrazek as the primary option between the pipes.

Anthony Beauvillier - Joins lengthy IR list Beauvillier (wrist) was placed on injured reserve Wednesday.
Impact Beauvillier suffered his wrist injury against the Predators on Tuesday and will now be sidelined for at least the next three games. The Hawks suddenly find themselves with six forwards on injured reserve and will likely need to consider bringing a player or two up from the minor to bolster their depth. Lukas Reichel and Nick Foligno could both be candidates to move into Beauvillier's first-line role.

Jaycob Megna - Claimed off waivers Megna was claimed off waivers from Seattle on Wednesday.
Impact Megna didn't get into a single game with the Kraken this season, but he had a goal in two contests with AHL Coachella Valley. During the 2022-23 campaign, Megna recorded a goal and 12 points in 54 outings between San Jose and Seattle. The 31-year-old defenseman might see work on Chicago's third pairing, but he'll probably spend most of his time with the Blackhawks serving as a healthy scratch.

Arvid Soderblom - Falls to Preds Soderblom allowed two goals on 35 shots in a 3-0 loss to Nashville on Tuesday.
Impact Soderblom was solid Tuesday, turning aside 33 of 35 shots. However, the Blackhawks couldn't get anything going offensively, sticking the 24-year-old netminder with a shutout loss. Soderblom hasn't earned a win since Nov. 24 -- he's struggled to an .861 save percentage over eight appearances in that span. Overall, Soderblom is 2-12-1 with an ugly .874 save percentage and 4.07 GAA while backing up Petr Mrazek this season.

Anthony Beauvillier - Exits Tuesday's contest Beauvillier sustained an upper-body injury and won't finish Tuesday's game versus the Predators.
Impact Beauvillier was hit into the boards and appeared to be favoring a wrist or arm after the play, though the Blackhawks didn't specify the details of the injury. He joins a growing list of missing skaters for Chicago. If Beauvillier can't play Thursday versus the Rangers, Reese Johnson would likely check back into the lineup.

Seth Jones - Expected to skate soon Jones (shoulder) is slated to resume skating this weekend, Ben Pope of the Chicago Sun-Times reports Tuesday.
Impact Jones was already expected to miss the upcoming three games but his return to the ice could see him back in action sooner rather than later. Despite averaging 3:29 of power-play ice time, the 29-year-old defenseman has registered just one of his 11 points with the man advantage. Once cleared to play, Jones will no doubt be eager to find the back of the net for the first time this season.

Arvid Soderblom - Gets starting nod Soderblom will guard the road cage versus Nashville on Tuesday, Charlie Roumeliotis of NBC Sports Chicago reports.
Impact Soderblom's last appearance came in relief of Petr Mrazek in Sunday's 8-1 blowout loss to Dallas -- Soderblom allowed two goals on just 10 shots after replacing Mrazek at the start of the third period of the ugly defeat. The 24-year-old netminder will attempt to snap his personal six-game losing streak (which dates back to Nov. 26) in a road matchup with a Predators squad that's averaging 3.00 goals per game at home this year, 22nd in the NHL.
