The Blackhawks have assigned Henri Jokiharju to Rockford (AHL).
Jokiharju came up for one game but has been returned to the AHL because Brent Seabrook is expected to play on Sunday. Jokiharju goes back to Rockford, where he has picked one goal and eight assists (nine points) in nine games.
Line Change
Jokiharju will draw into the Blackhawks lineup on Friday.
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.
The Stars have activated Ben Bishop from IR.
As expected, Bishop will return as the Stars backup on Thursday and that puts him on-track to start one of their back-to-back games this weekend. Landon Bow was returned to Texas (AHL) to make room for Bishop.

Reimer will start Thursday vs. the Hurricanes.
Bishop (upper-body) is expected to return as the Stars backup on Thursday.

Line Change
Ennis will draw into the Maple Leafs lineup on Saturday.
Ennis has been sidelined since breaking his ankle on December 22nd but was activated from IR on February 10th and has sat as a healthy scratch for the last three games. Ennis will replace Andreas Johnsson, who is out with a leg injury, and comes into play with seven goals and four assists (11 points) in 33 games this season.
Goalie Start
Reimer will start Thursday vs. the Flames.
Reimer was pulled after allowing three goals on 12 shots in the Panthers loss to the Lightning on Sunday. Since the calendar flipped to 2019, Reimer has gone 2-3-2 with a 2.93 GAA and .905 SV%, which is slightly better than his overall numbers on the season. Still, he hasn’t been very good this season and tonight’s matchup with the Flames is not a friendly one.
Bishop (upper-body) will not be available for Thursday’s game.
Bishop will miss his fourth straight game with an upper-body injury, so Anton Khudobin will start after posting a shutout on Tuesday. Monitor Bishop’s status leading up to Saturday’s game in Carolina.

Bishop (undisclosed) will not backup on Thursday; expected to be fine for Saturday’s game vs. Arizona.
Bishop is dealing with a minor injury, so Landon Bow was called up to serve as Anton Khudobin’s backup. Despite not being available tonight, Bishop remains a candidate to start Saturday.
Line Change
Thompson is expected to be a healthy scratch on Thursday.
Thompson came to the Sabres with so much upside and a lethal shot but has registered just seven goals on 81 shots (8.6 SH%) and four assists (11 points) in 45 games this season. Thompson will be replaced by Johan Larsson tonight.
