Status report
The Blackhawks did not hold a morning skate. ... Foligno did not make the trip to St. Louis and will be out because of personal reasons; the forward is expected to play against the Nashville Predators on Friday. ... Murphy made the trip but the defenseman will miss his 35th straight game. ... Hayes will be a healthy scratch for the second time in three games after the forward played in the first 76 games this season. ... Faulk, a defenseman, is likely to miss the rest of the regular season. ... Neighbours is day to day; the forward skated Wednesday but will not play. ... Hofer will make his second start in three games.
