The 32-year-old Mrazek was placed on injured
reserve last weekend. He is 7-11-1 with a 2.83 goals-against
average and .906 save percentage in 20 games this season.
Blackhawks coach Anders Sorensen also said defenseman Seth Jones
skated before Sunday's 5-3 victory over the New York Islanders.
Sorensen said he thinks Jones also was on the ice on Saturday
for a short period.
Jones, 30, was placed on IR on Nov. 16 with a right foot injury.
He played in each of Chicago’s first 17 games, averaging more
than 25 1/2 minutes of ice time.
Blackhawks captain Nick Foligno was scratched for the matchup
with the Islanders because of an illness. Teuvo Teravainen moved
into Foligno's spot on the team's lines, and Joey Anderson was
inserted into the lineup.
Defenseman Wyatt Kaiser was a healthy scratch. He was replaced
by Louis Crevier.
“Just a little reset,” Sorensen said before the win. “Did some
good things, some things we have to clean up and I want to get
Crevs back in as well.”
