Status report
Utah did not hold a morning skate following a 4-2 victory at the Detroit Red Wings on Thursday. … Vejmelka will start after making 38 saves Thursday. ... Coach Andre Tourigny said there will be some game-time lineup decisions before puck drop. ... The Blackhawks acquired Veleno, a forward, from the Red Wings on Friday for goalie Petr Mrazek and forward Craig Smith; it is not known whether Veleno will arrive in Chicago by game time, so the Blackhawks could dress 11 forwards and seven defensemen. ... Foligno will return after missing three games because of a back injury. … Chicago assigned forward Andreas Athanasiou to Rockford of the American Hockey League on Thursday.
