Chicago Blackhawks<\/p>\n

Spencer Knight<\/a> practiced Wednesday, and could start for the\u00a0Blackhawks 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<\/a>, 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. \u2026 Chicago\u00a0coach Jeff Blashill did not have a further update on forward Oliver Moore<\/a> (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<\/a>\u00a0in the first period of a 4-3 overtime loss to Dallas on Sunday.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Colorado Avalanche<\/p>\n

Ross Colton<\/a> 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\u00a0Bednar said after the game. Colorado visits the Seattle Kraken on Thursday (10 p.m. ET; KHN\/Prime, KING5, KONG, KTVD, ALT2).\u00a0“Hopefully he loosens up for tomorrow and can play in Seattle,” Bednar said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Chicago Blackhawks Spencer Knight practiced Wednesday, and could start for the\u00a0Blackhawks against the Utah Mammoth on Thursday (9…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":534451,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[556],"tags":[64,63,575,85],"class_list":["post-534450","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nhl","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-nhl","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/534450","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=534450"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/534450\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/534451"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=534450"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=534450"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=534450"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
