Chicago Blackhawks

Spencer Knight practiced Wednesday, and could start for the Blackhawks against the Utah Mammoth on Thursday (9 p.m. ET; Utah16, CHSN). The goalie has missed their past three games due to illness. Goalie Drew Commesso, who made 23 saves in a 3-2 overtime win against the Mammoth on Monday, will be reassigned to Rockford of the American Hockey League. … Chicago coach Jeff Blashill did not have a further update on forward Oliver Moore (lower body); he said on Monday that Moore would “miss some significant time” after being injured in a collision behind the net with Dallas Stars forward Colin Blackwell in the first period of a 4-3 overtime loss to Dallas on Sunday. 

Colorado Avalanche

Ross Colton sustained an upper-body injury in a 4-3 loss to the Stars on Tuesday. The forward was injured at 11:20 of the second period. “He took a shot from a player during the game and then he kind of tightened up,” Avalanche coach Jared Bednar said after the game. Colorado visits the Seattle Kraken on Thursday (10 p.m. ET; KHN/Prime, KING5, KONG, KTVD, ALT2). “Hopefully he loosens up for tomorrow and can play in Seattle,” Bednar said.
