Bill Peters said this morning that Ryan Murphy, who missed yesterday’s practice after taking stitches in “a tough spot” (ow ow ow ow ow ow ow ow ow), wasn’t a guarantee to draw in tonight, but it seems more likely after Murphy took the optional morning skate. If Murphy doesn’t go, Klas Dahlbeck — a third-round pick of the Blackhawks in 2011 — will see his first action in more than a month.
Everything else is expected to remain as it was Tuesday, which makes these posts rather easy to do by this point:
Injuries and Scratches: Bryan Bickell (IR multiple sclerosis), Justin Faulk (upper-body), Andrej Nestrasil (healthy), Klas Dahlbeck (healthy)
The Hawks flew into Raleigh last night after a comeback win against the Predators last night.
