This isn’t overly surprising, since Chytil just returned to practice on Thursday. Monitor his status heading into Sunday’s game vs. the Bruins.


Chytil has been out since January 24th due to an upper-body injury, but was back on the ice for Thursday’s practice, suggesting that he could be back soon. Don’t expect to see him Friday vs. the Bruins but maybe Sunday.














DeBrusk has been out of the lineup since January 26t but will be back in the lineup on Wednesday. DeBrusk, who has one assist in six games this season, will be on the third line with Charlie Coyle as well as the second power-play unit.

Lankinen allowed four goals on 34 shots in the Blackhawks win over the Hurricanes last Thursday. Lankinen has allowed a combined seven goals in his last two starts, moving his GAA to 2.32 with a .928 SV% through eight starts. Tonight he'll face a Stars team that has opened the season at 5-2-2 while ranking third in the NHL in Goals per game (3.67).

DeBrusk has missed the last seven games with a lower-body issue but was back on a line with Charlie Coyle on Monday, so look for him to return to the lineup on Wednesday. DeBrusk had just one assist in six games this season.
