Mrazek is in the starter's crease at the Blackhawks morning skate.

Mrazek allowed two goals on 36 shots (.944 SV%) for his fifth-straight loss as Tampa Bay handed him another loss in his previous start. The 31-year-old has had a nightmarish 2022-23 season, with his 8-19-3 record, 3.69 GAA and .894 SV%. He will face the league-leading Boston Bruins, who have surprisingly lost two of their last three games but are still second in the NHL in goals per game (3.74).

Cole Guttman will be shut down for the rest of the season due to a shoulder injury.

Guttman scored four goals, six points, 26 SOG, two PIMs and a +1 plus/minus through 14 games with the Blackhawks in his rookie season but will now be shut down for the rest of the season due to a shoulder injury. The 23-year-old was a 2017 sixth-round pick (180th overall) and will hope to crack the Blackhawks' roster in 2023-24.

The Blackhawks recalled Anton Khudobin from Rockford (AHL).

Khudobin was acquired at the deadline from the Stars and has yet to appear in an AHL or NHL game with the Blackhawks. When in Dallas, he spent the whole year with Texas (AHL), where he was 13-4-4 with a 2.89 GAA and .899 SV%. It's unclear if he will backup Petr Mrazek on Saturday or if he's in line to make his Blackhawks debut.
