Blackhawks Goalie Petr Mrazek Returns from Injury

Chicago activates Mrazek after five-game absence, with Arvid Söderblom continuing as starting goaltender against Seattle.

Petr Mrazek, 32, was activated from injured reserve after recovering from a left groin injury sustained on December 7 and a subsequent bout with the flu.
In Mrazek's absence, Arvid Söderblom started five of six games, posting a 3-2 record and improving his season stats with notable performances.
Drew Commesso, who filled in during Mrazek's recovery, was reassigned to the AHL's Rockford IceHogs following Mrazek's activation.
Mrazek, with a 7-11-1 record this season, has a 2.83 goals-against average and a .906 save percentage in 20 games played.
The Blackhawks, currently tied for the fewest points in the NHL, look to improve their performance with both goalies contributing to the team’s efforts.
