A few news and notes from the morning skate ahead of Friday evening’s Chicago Blackhawks game against the Columbus Blue Jackets.
The best news from Friday’s morning skate was that Alex Stalock will start against Columbus. The goalie hasn’t played since Nov. 1, when he suffered a concussion just 2:56 into the New York Islanders game. Before the injury, Stalock was 3-2-1 with a .914 save-percentage and 2.93 goals-against average — the top performance among Blackhawks goalie regulars.
Alex Stalock is working in the starter’s net.
