Knight allowed three goals on 28 shots in the Panthers' win over the Islanders last Saturday. WIth Sergei Bobrovsky starting yesterday, Knight will start the second-half of the Panthers back-to-back in Finland. He hasn't been particularly sharp in his three starts (3.03 GAA and .898 SV%) but it's been good enough win two of three.

The Blackhawks will roll with Mrazek for a fifth straight game when they take the ice on Thursday night against the San Jose Sharks. Mrazek was solid in his last outing, saving 24 of 26 shots (.923 SV%) in a 5-2 win over the Colorado Avalanche, but he has a less impressive 3.04 GAA and .896 SV% through eight games this season (3-5-0). That said, he was in the crease in a 4-2 win over the Sharks two weeks ago, saving 20 of 22 shots (.909 SV%). The Blackhawks enter the action on Thursday as -153 road favorites against a Sharks club riding a two-game winning streak.

Soderblom will return to backup Petr Mrazek on Monday after missing the last two games due to an illness. Soderblom has made two appearances this season, posting a 0-1-1 record and a .911 SV%. Drew Commesso has been reassigned to Rockford (AHL) to make room for Soderblom's return.

Commesso will return to the AHL without making an appearance after serving as Chicago's backup in the absence of Arvid Soderblom (illness). The former second-round draft pick owns a 1-1-0 record and an .854 SV% in two AHL games this season.

For the fourth straight game, despite allowing 12 goals combined in the previous three (0-3-0), the Blackhawks will roll with Mrazek in the crease on Monday against the Colorado Avalanche. Through seven games this season (2-5-0), Mrazek is sporting a pedestrian 3.20 GAA and .893 SV%. The Blackhawks enter the action on Monday as +192 road underdogs against an Avalanche club that is riding a five-game winning streak.

Knight stopped all six shots that he faced after replacing Sergei Bobrovsky in the Panthers' loss to the Wild on Tuesday. Thought three appearances (two starts) this season, Knight has a 3.04 GAA and .900 SV%. On Saturday he'll face the Islanders and the Panthers enter play as -137 road favourites.

Commesso was recalled earlier on Friday but is yet to make his NHL debut. The 22-year-old netminder was selected 46th overall by Chicago in the 2020 NHL Entry Draft. He has a 1-1-0 record and an .854 SV% in two AHL games this season. He will get the opportunity to back up Petr Mrazek as Arvid Soderblom is out with an illness.

Soderblom was originally projected to start Saturday's game in Dallas, but that is seemingly now up in the air. The recently recalled Drew Commesso will serve as the backup for Petr Mrazek on Friday night.

The Blackhawks will turn to Mrazek between the pipes for a second consecutive game and for the sixth time in eight contests to start the season. Mrazek had a solid start to the season, posting a .911 SV% in his first four games (2-2-0), but allowing six goals on 30 shots (.800 SV%) in his last outing, a 6-3 loss to the Vancouver Canucks. The Blackhawks, outscored 10-5 in their previous two games (0-2-0), enter the action on Friday as +154 home underdogs against a Nashville Predators club that recorded their first win of the season on Tuesday (1-5-0).

Philipp Kurashev will draw back into the Blackhawks' lineup after being a healthy scratch on Tuesday, replacing Athanasiou. The 30-year-old Athanasiou has zero points in his first five games and is averaging only 9:36 time-on-ice, a steep drop from the 13:06 he averaged in 28 games with the club last season.

Despite placing second on the Blackhawks with 54 points (18G / 36A) last season, Kurashev was a healthy scratch on Tuesday. He will draw back into the lineup on Friday against the Nashville Predators and hope to improve on a disappointing start to the 2024-25 season, with one point (1G / 0A) and a -6 plus/minus in six games.

Levshunov was the 2nd overall pick of the Blackhawks in the 2024 NHL Entry Draft and will begin his professional career with the Rockford Icehogs (AHL). The 18-year-old Levshunov had 44 points (9G / 26A) in 38 games playing collegiate hockey for Michigan State University.

Mrazek had the night off in the Blackhawks' last outing, a 4-2 loss to the Buffalo Sabres, but will return to the crease for the fourth time in their last five games on Tuesday night against the Vancouver Canucks. The 32-year-old Mrazek has had an impressive start to the 2023-24 campaign, posting a 2.53 GAA and .911 SV% through four games (2-2-0). The Blackhawks enter action on Tuesday as +157 home underdogs against the Canucks.
