Anisimov was injured in Saturday's win in St. Louis and sat
the following two games. Chicago coach Joel Quenneville said the
injury is not serious and the move is designed to capitalize on
the NHL's three-day Christmas break which starts Saturday.
Anisimov, who has 14 goals and 13 assists in 27 games, is
eligible to return next Tuesday.

Louis will not have another game until hosting the Philadelphia

points.
