Status report
Phillips, a defenseman, will take warmups in case Murphy cannot play because of an undisclosed injury during a 5-2 loss at the Toronto Maple Leafs on Wednesday. … Toews, who has missed five games, is skating back in Chicago; the Blackhawks hope to have a better idea of a timeline for the center's return by early next week. ... Mrazek will start for the fifth time in seven games. ... Sogaard will start after Mandolese made 46 saves in his NHL debut on Tuesday, a 3-2 shootout win at the New York Islanders. ... Watson, a forward, will not play. ... Talbot practiced for the first time since he was injured Jan. 25, but there is no timeline for the goalie's return.
