Practice updates: Lucas Carlsson returns after missing third period of Sunday’s game

After cancelling practice on Jan. 30 out of an “abundance of caution” the Blackhawks returned to the ice at Fifth-Third Arena in Chicago on Monday.

Despite missing the end of the game against the Blue Jackets on Sunday, Blackhawks defenseman Lucas Carlsson returned to practice on Monday. Carlsson appeared to injure his left knee blocking a shot in the first period, came back for a few shifts in the second, then missed all of the third while playing a team-low 7:39 in the 3-1 victory.
