Status report
Chicago coach Luke Richardson said Mrazek, a goalie, is feeling better and that he and Englund, a defenseman, could join the team this week in Washington. … Johnson, a forward, will need another day or two before taking a clearance test for concussion protocol. … Colorado coach Jared Bednar said that Makar, a defenseman, tweaked something against the Detroit Red Wings on Saturday and won't play in order to keep it from getting worse. … Johnson, a defenseman, participated in the morning skate but isn't ready to return from a broken ankle sustained Feb. 11.
