Blackhawks goalie Robin Lehner will return to the net against the Anaheim Ducks in the final contest of the Blackhawks' four-game homestand.
Lehner, 12-7-4 with a 2.92 goals-against average and a .922 save percentage, suffered a right-knee injury in Jan. 2's 7-5 loss at Vancouver. After participating in some of Tuesday's morning skate, Wednesday's full practice and Friday's optional skate, he's good to go.
Lehner remained in the game in Vancouver after Canucks forward Tanner Pearson crashed the net and fell onto his right knee in the third period. The goalie didn't think the injury would have him sidelined immediately after, but he's glad it was short-term.
