| Pos | Role | Name |
| C | 1 | Jonathan Toews  ActiveJonathan Toews scored two goals for the Blackhawks in a 6-1 drubbing of the Blue Jackets Thursday night. Toews has netted 24 goals on the season, but it was a well-balanced attack from Chicago that led to the final result. Andrew Shaw also recorded a pair of goals in the victory while Brandon Bollig and Bryan Bickell also found the back of the net for the Hawks. Mar 6 |
| 2 | Andrew Shaw ActiveAndrew Shaw joined Jonathan Toews and Brandon Saad on the top line Thursday night. The switch paid off as Shaw scored a pair of goals on four shots in a 6-1 win over Columbus. Toews had two markers of his own and Saad contributed an assist. Shaw also finished with a plus-3 rating. This line change could make Shaw a decent waiver claim if he can hang onto it while Marian Hossa is injured. Mar 7 |
| 3 | Michal Handzus ActiveMichal Handzus and Marian Hossa will return to Chicago after Slovakia was eliminated from Olympic play on Tuesday. "It's disappointing but now we have a couple of days to regroup and come back to the Blackhawks," said Handzus. "Our tournament wasn't good. Maybe we played one good game. Other than that we had some flashes but we didn't play 60 minutes. In a tournament like this, every mistake they pay you back. We came close but it was too little too late." He assisted on both of Hossa's goals in Slovakia's 5-3 loss to the Czech Republic. Feb 19 |
| 4 | Marcus Kruger ActiveMarcus Kruger was struck in the face by a shot from New York's Brad Richards in Thursday's loss to the Rangers. He left for repairs and to be examined during the second period, but he was able to return. Kruger has six goals and 24 points in 61 contests this year. Feb 28 |
| 5 | Peter Regin ActivePeter Regin may center Chicago's third line when he returns to the lineup on Tuesday night. It's possible that Andrew Shaw will be moved to the wing to necessitate the change. Regin was a healthy scratch for Saturday's Stadium Series tilt versus Pittsburgh. He has one goal in two games with the Blackhawks since he was acquired from the New York Islanders. Mar 3 |
| LW | 1 | Patrick Sharp ActivePatrick Sharp reached the 60-point mark on Saturday. Sharp scored his 29th goal of the season and registered his 31st assist in Chicago's 5-1 victory over Pittsburgh. This is the fifth time that Sharp has reached the 60-point milestone in his career and the fourth consecutive time, not counting the shortened campaign. Sharp is on track to surpass his personal best of 71 points before the 2013-14 campaign is over. Mar 2 |
| 2 | Brandon Saad ActiveBrandon Saad will play alongside Jonathan Toews and Patrick Sharp with Marian Hossa injured. Hossa will miss two to three weeks with an upper-body injury. Saad moved up to the line when Hossa got hurt on Saturday and he'll stay there for now. He has 18 goals and 41 points, along with a plus-27 rating, in 62 games this season. Mar 4 |
| 3 | Bryan Bickell ActiveBryan Bickell found the back of the net on Saturday. Bickell has been underwhelming this season, but Blackhawks coach Joel Quenneville thinks that the Olympic break was beneficial to him. Among other things, the time off allowed Bickell to rest some lingering injuries. He has nine goals and 11 points in 45 games in 2013-14. Mar 2 |
| 4 | Brandon Bollig ActiveThe Chicago Blackhawks have signed Brandon Bollig to a three year extension. Bollig will receive $3.75 million over the length of the contract. Bollig has six goals and 12 points in 62 games with 69 penalty minutes and leads the team with 138 hits. Mar 3 |
| RW | 1 | Patrick Kane ActiveAfter a disappointing showing in the 2014 Winter Games, Patrick Kane is shifting his focus back to the Chicago Blackhawks. The United States ended up finishing fourth in the tournament and Kane didn't score a goal despite having two penalty shot opportunities in the bronze medal contest. "I feel fine," Kane said. "Physically fine, mentally fine. Yeah, it's been a tough couple of weeks, but . . . no excuses. I was here to play hockey and try to produce. Didn't do that. That's what I'm expected to do in Chicago, too, so I'll go back and try to do it there." Between the timezone adjustment and the rough way his Olympic campaign ended, we wouldn't be surprised if Kane got off to a sluggish start when the NHL schedule resumes. That being said, it shouldn't take him too long to bounce back. Feb 23 |
| 2 | Marian Hossa  SidelinedMarian Hossa will be out of action for two to three weeks because of an upper-body injury. He was hurt during Saturday's outdoor game against Pittsburgh on a hit by Craig Adams along the boards. The Blackhawks haven't called anyone up from the minors yet to replace him, but that remains a possibility. Brandon Saad will continue to play with Jonathan Toews and Patrick Sharp in Hossa's place. Mar 3 |
| 3 | Kris Versteeg ActiveKris Versteeg netted his 100th career goal in Saturday's 5-1 win over Pittsburgh at Soldier Field. Versteeg went on an 11-game goal scoring drought between his 99th and 100th markers. "That was something maybe I've been pressing for a little while now, people asking you about it all the time and family members. It was really nice to get it here," Versteeg said. "You try to take positives every game and that's one you can take and hopefully build confidence for myself." Versteeg also scored during the Blackhawks' outdoor game in 2009. Mar 2 |
| 4 | Ben Smith ActiveBen Smith potted his eighth goal of the season in Tuesday's 4-2 loss to Colorado. He has two points in his past three games to give him a total of 19 on the year. Smith had gone seven straight matches without finding the back of the net before Tuesday night. Mar 5 |
| D | 1 | Duncan Keith ActiveDuncan Keith now has two Stanley Cups and two Olympic gold medals. "I'm proud to play with great teammates and great teams and I just want to keep going," Keith said. "These are all nice and this is what we play for, we play for championships and Stanley Cups and gold medals. I definitely feel that we've got a lot of opportunity to win more." He posted one assist and a plus-6 rating while playing for Canada at the 2014 Winter Games. Keith was paired with Nashville's Shea Weber on the team's defense tandem during the tournament. He is enjoying an excellent season with Chicago as well, where he has amassed 48 points in 59 games. Feb 24 |
| 2 | Brent Seabrook ActiveBrent Seabrook collected two assists in Chicago's 6-1 victory against Columbus. He has three assists in four games coming out of the Olympic break. Seabrook posted a plus-3 rating on Thursday night to give him a plus-27 on the year. He also has 37 points in 64 contests. Mar 7 |
| 3 | Niklas Hjalmarsson ActiveNiklas Hjalmarsson finally feels back to normal after returning from the 2014 Sochi Olympics. "I started feeling normal again (Wednesday)," Hjalmarsson said. "It's been the same thing for most of the other guys, too, so I can't complain, but it's been an adjustment. I haven't been sleeping as much as you want." The timezone change and travel will impact everyone differently. Hjalmarsson won a silver medal with Sweden at the Winter Games. Mar 7 |
| 4 | Johnny Oduya ActiveDespite the fact Johnny Oduya missed his second consecutive game due to a lower-body injury, he will be able to play for Sweden at the Sochi Olympics. Oduya did not dress for Friday night's loss against Phoenix and also missed Wednesday night's contest. Good information if you are in an Olympic hockey pool. Otherwise this means little. Feb 8 |
| 5 | Nick Leddy ActiveThe Pittsburgh Penguins and Chicago Blackhawks are no stranger to outdoor games, but Saturday's contest at Soldier Field will still be a first for some players. Nick Leddy can be counted among those that hasn't experienced an outdoor game before. "It reminds me of the pond in my back yard when I was younger," Leddy said. "My dad would always be icing, making sure it was always smooth for us. It brings me back to my younger days. You're letting the wind hit your face, it's definitely a different atmosphere." This is Chicago's second outdoor contest and Pittsburgh's third. Mar 1 |
| 6 | Michal Rozsival ActiveMichal Rozsival accidentally nailed linesman Andy McElman in the face with a hard right hand during a scrum with Colorado's Maxime Talbot on Tuesday night. "I really feel bad," Rozsival said. "It wasn't my intention at all to do anything like that. We were pushing each other and (Talbot) punched me. I punched him back, and he kind of deflected my arm. I seriously don't know how it could have happened. (McElman) seemed to be OK. It wasn't a hard punch, but he didn't expect it so he was suckered." As expected, he didn't face any supplemental discipline for the play. He was a healthy scratch against Columbus on Thursday. Perhaps Chicago coach Joel Quenneville was trying to keep the officials safe in that game. Mar 7 |
| 7 | Sheldon Brookbank ActiveSheldon Brookbank will dress as the Blackhawks' sixth defenseman Sunday against Boston. No word yet on who will be a healthy scratch to allow Brookbank to suit up. As you certainly know, Brookbank has no real fantasy value. Jan 19 |
| 8 | David Rundblad ActiveDavid Rundblad won't be in Chicago's lineup Thursday night. He could make his Blackhawks' debut Sunday against the Buffalo Sabres. "He's a really talented player," GM Stan Bowman said. "David has excellent offensive skills. I think sometimes a change of scenery can help a player like him. Fitting in with the group we have here, I think he's got a lot of potential." Rundblad may have trouble cracking Chicago's deep defense corps, so he'll have to stand out when he gets his opportunity to play. Mar 6 |
| G | 1 | Corey Crawford ActiveCorey Crawford and the Blackhawks destroyed Columbus by a score of 6-1 Thursday night. Crawford allowed just one goal on 23 shots int the victory, which improves his record to 24-11-10. His GAA is 2.30 while his save percentage is .917. Mar 6 |
| 2 | Nikolai Khabibulin  I.L.The Chicago Blackhawks have specified that Nikolai Khabibulin (shoulder surgery) should be back in four-to-five months. In other words, Khabibulin is done for the 2013-14 campaign. He could hypothetically return for the playoffs, but he barely played this season and at the age of 40, we can't envision a scenario where Chicago would use a rusty Khabibulin in a postseason contest. Even if Corey Crawford gets hurt, they would probably start Antti Raanta over Khabibulin at that point. Unfortunately, Khabibulin might have played in his last NHL game. Jan 7 |
| 3 | Antti Raanta ActiveAntti Raanta will start against the Calgary Flames on Tuesday. Chicago will play against Vancouver on Wednesday and the Blackhawks want Corey Crawford rested for that contest. Raanta has a 2.24 GAA and .910 save percentage in 18 games in 2013-14. Jan 28 |
