Status report
Fleury will likely start against the Penguins, his former team, for the first time since Jan. 7, 2020, when he was with the Vegas Golden Knights. Lankinen made 25 saves on 29 shots in a 4-3 overtime loss to the New Jersey Devils on Friday. … The Blackhawks did not hold a morning skate. … Rust, normally first-line right wing, will not play after taking a hit from Florida Panthers defenseman MacKenzie Weegar in the third period of a 5-4 overtime loss Thursday. He is still being evaluated, Penguins coach Mike Sullivan said. … Aston-Reese could make his season debut after being removed from NHL COVID-19 protocol.
