Status report
The Blackhawks did not hold a morning skate. ... Soderblom is expected to start for the Blackhawks after Petr Mrazek, who made five straight starts, allowed five goals on 35 shots in a 6-3 loss to the Columbus Blue Jackets on Sunday. Soderblom was 2-0-0 with a 1.93 goals-against average and a .945 save percentage against Toronto last season. ... McCabe, who left a 5-3 win against the Tampa Bay Lightning on Saturday after taking a puck to the head in the second period, will not play for precautionary reasons, coach Craig Berube said. McCabe is day to day. ... Myers will play for the second time this season, his first game since Oct. 26.
