Soderblom will start for the first time in three games Saturday as he takes on Winnipeg on the road.

After a string of poor performances and sitting for two straight games, Mrazek will start consecutive games after a strong showing in the Blackhawks' 4-3 victory over the Seattle Kraken on Tuesday, saving 33 of 36 shots (.917 SV%). Mrazek and the Blackhawks are sizeable +182 road underdogs against his former team, the Detroit Red Wings, who will likely be without Dylan Larkin.

After a somewhat resurgent start to the season, scoring nine points (4G / 5A) in 16 games, Perry has been placed on unconditional waivers by the Blackhawks to terminate his contract. In a statement released by the team, Perry engaged in "unacceptable conduct" that violated his contract and team standards. Perry was a healthy scratch in the last three games for the Blackhawks as this situation was unfolding.

Mrazek has not played the last two games for the Blackhawks but will make his return to the crease on Tuesday. Mrazek has been mostly solid this season, posting a 3.24 GAA and .904 SV% in 11 games (4-6-0), but is in the midst of his worst three-game stretch of the season (0-3-0), allowing 11 goals on 69 combined shots (.841 SV%). The Blackhawks have lost six of their last seven (1-6-0) and are +165 home underdogs against a Seattle Kraken team that has at least a point in five of their last six (3-1-2).

The Blackhawks have yet to say why Perry isn't with the team but that it was a team decision, not Perry's decision. The 38-year-old signed a one-year, $4 million contract in the offseason and had been enjoying a decent start to the season with four goals, five assists, 26 SOG, 12 PIMs and a -5 plus/minus in 16 games played.

Perry was pacing for his best offensive totals in a half-decade with nine points (4G / 5A) in 16 games this season but will serve as a healthy scratch for the second consecutive game on Friday against the Toronto Maple Leafs. Perry's continued absence from the lineup is puzzling, given his strong start to the season and the news that Taylor Hall will miss the remainder of the 2023-24 campaign.
