Jokiharju (lower-body) is expected to miss at least a couple of weeks.

Mittelstadt played 16:39 TOI before leaving the season opener with a lower-body injury. The Sabres announced today that he'll miss at least a couple of weeks, which creates a hole on the blueline next to Rasmus Dahlin. Will Butcher was elevated into that role in Friday's practice.

The Blackhawks have recalled Henri Jokiharju from Rockford (AHL).

With Brent Seabrook (abdomen) out and Carl Dahlstrom (illness) questionable, Jokiharju has been called up and will likely be in the lineup on Friday. Jokiharju has picked up a point-per-game (1G / 8A) in nine games with Rockford since being sent down. He is one of the Blackhawks best defensemen and could remain with the team moving forward as they continue their hunt for the playoffs.

Jokiharju (flu) is expected to play on Thursday.

Jokiharju missed Wednesday’s practice because of the flu, but traveled to Minnesota and is expected to play tonight. Jokiharju has five assists in his first three games of the season and was bumped to the top power-play unit recently—adding to his growing fantasy value.
