Status report
Lafferty, a center, and Khaira, a forward, each did not take part in the Blackhawks morning skate Thursday; Lafferty because of illness and Khaira for maintenance; if Lafferty plays, Blackwell likely would be a healthy scratch. ... Binnington will make his seventh start in nine games. ... Mikkola will move up from the Blues' third defense pair to play with Parayko on the first pair, and Leddy and Faulk will be paired together for the second time this season.
