Impact Kurashev was able to end his eight-game goal drought with his tally Thursday in addition to earning his team the victory in a battle of netminders.

Andreas Athanasiou - Still not skating Athanasiou (groin) has yet to resume skating but is expected back on the ice soon, Charlie Roumeliotis of NBC Sports Chicago reports Wednesday.

Impact Athanasiou has already been out of action for the club's last 12 contests and looks unlikely to play any time soon. Prior to getting hurt, the 29-year-old forward was still looking for his first goal of the 2023-24 campaign. Given his slump and injury concerns, Athanasiou seems unlikely to reach the 20-goal threshold after hitting that mark last year.

Seth Jones - Earns two assists Jones registered a pair of assists versus the Ducks on Thursday.

Impact Jones is still looking for his first goal of the season but has managed 10 helpers through the first 24 games. The blueliner is seeing big minutes with the man advantage, 3:22 of ice time per game, but has only one power-play point. Still, Jones should be capable of pushing for the 40-point mark this year, a threshold he just barely missed during the 2022-23 campaign.

Jarred Tinordi - In concussion protocol Tinordi is in the concussion protocol, Scott Powers of The Athletic reports Wednesday.

Impact Tinordi missed nine straight games from Nov. 12-30 due to an oblique injury before returning Saturday. He got into three straight contests -- recording no points, four PIM, nine hits and two blocks while averaging 14:32 of ice time over that span -- before being injured again. While Tinordi is unavailable, Louis Crevier might play regularly for the Blackhawks.

Jason Dickinson - Scores in shootout loss Dickinson tallied a goal on his lone shot in Tuesday's 4-3 shootout loss to the Predators.

Impact Dickinson tied the game 2-2 early in the second period, ripping a wrist shot through traffic that got by Juuse Saros. The 28-year-old Dickinson has been productive in a middle-six role, tallying six goals in his last eight games. He now has eight goals, one shy of a career high, and 13 points through 24 games this season.

Arvid Soderblom - Falls in shootout Soderblom allowed three goals on 30 shots in Tuesday's 4-3 shootout loss to the Predators.

Impact Soderblom was solid apart from the second period, where he allowed three goals on 14 shots, before ultimately falling in a shootout. The 24-year-old netminder has struggled a bit of late, going 1-2-1 with an .885 save percentage over his last five outings. Overall, he's now 2-8-1 with an .884 save percentage on the campaign. Soderblom should continue to split starting duties with Petr Mrazek, though it's hard to trust either netminder behind an inconsistent Chicago defense.

Nick Foligno - Three points in shootout loss Foligno scored two goals and added an assist in Tuesday's 4-3 shootout loss to the Predators.

Impact It was quite an effort from Foligno after he'd gone seven games without a point and 13 without a goal. The veteran winger opened the scoring in the first period before adding another tally and an assist in the second. Foligno now has four goals and 11 points through 24 games in his first season with Chicago. While he'll primarily skate in a bottom-six role, Foligno could provide an occasional scoring burst (as demonstrated Tuesday) while logging time on the Blackhawks' second power-play unit.

Petr Mrazek - Gets little help in loss Mrazek made 30 saves in Sunday's 4-1 loss to the Wild.

Impact The veteran netminder didn't play badly -- two of Minnesota's goals came on power plays, and Mrazek held the Wild off the board in the third period to give his squad a chance to mount a comeback -- but he once again got little support. Mrazek has dropped five of his last six decisions, giving up at least three goals in each appearance while stumbling to an .863 save percentage, but Chicago appears content to keep him in the No. 1 job for now.
