Mrazek set to start in St. Louis
Petr Mrazek will start Wednesday on the road against St. Louis, per Ben Pope of the Chicago Sun-Times. Mrazek had his best start of the season Saturday, stopping 42 of 44 shots in a 3-2 win over Dallas. The 32-year-old has quietly had a solid season, recording a .908 save percentage despite an 18-28-4 record behind a poor Blackhawks squad. The Blues are 23-13-2 at home this year, so this will be a tough road matchup for Mrazek.
Neighbours still day-to-day
Jake Neighbours (upper body) is still day-to-day, but he could return before the season is over, per Lou Korac of NHL.com. Neighbours has had a pretty solid season for St. Louis, recording 27 goals and 11 assists in 77 games played. If he’s able to return to action before the season ends, Neighbours should slot into a middle-six role to close out the year. He will be entering his fourth season in the league next year.
