Status report
Tinordi played Tuesday at the Calgary Flames after missing three games because of a hip injury but Blackhawks coach Luke Richardson said he doesn't want to over-play the defenseman, so Englund takes his spot after sitting out two games. ... Bjork, a healthy scratch last game, replaces Wagner, a forward who played the previous three games after missing 13 because of a hand injury. ... Mrazek and Stalock will alternate starts for the seventh straight game. ... Beauvillier moves from the third line to the top line, swapping spots with Joshua, who played the previous four games on the No. 1 line. ... Hughes will play despite missing practice Wednesday because of an illness. ... McWard will make his NHL debut after signing a two-year, entry-level contract Tuesday. The 21-year-old recently completed his sophomore season at Ohio State University with 21 points (nine goals, 12 assists) in 39 games.
