Mrazek was replaced by Arvid Soderblom in the
first period of Saturday's 4-2 loss to Winnipeg. The 32-year-old
Mrazek is 7-11-1 with a 2.83 goals-against average and .906 save
percentage in 20 games this season.
Chicago also rested defensemen Alex Vlasic (maintenance) and
Alec Martinez (neck), along with forward Craig Smith
(maintenance), during practice on Sunday.
The last-place Blackhawks recalled goaltender Drew Commesso and
defenseman Kevin Korchinski from Rockford of the American Hockey
League.
Commesso likely will back up Soderblom while Mrazek is
sidelined. Veteran goaltender Laurent Brossoit signed a two-year
contract with Chicago in free agency, but he has been sidelined
by a right knee issue.
The Blackhawks begin a three-game trip on Monday night at the
New York Rangers.
The 20-year-old Korchinski was selected by Chicago with the No.
7 pick in the 2022 draft. He had five goals and 10 assists in 76
games with the Blackhawks last season.
