Status report
The Blackhawks did not hold a morning skate. … Martinez, a defenseman who missed a 2-1 win against the New York Rangers on Monday, left practice early Wednesday and went back to Chicago for further evaluation. … Jones, a defenseman, skated four or five days ago and will hopefully do so again in the next few days, Chicago interim coach Anders Sorensen said. … Smith will play after not playing Tuesday. … Mayfield (illness) will play after he missed a 3-1 loss to the Los Angeles Kings on Tuesday. … Lee (illness) is a game-time decision.
