The Chicago Blackhawks have placed goaltender Petr Mrazek on injured reserve due to a left groin injury. Mrazek, who has struggled this season, was replaced by Arvid Soderblom during a recent game against Winnipeg.

In addition to Mrazek, the team is managing the health of several players, including defensemen Alex Vlasic and Alec Martinez, as well as forward Craig Smith. To bolster their roster, the Blackhawks recalled goaltender Drew Commesso and defenseman Kevin Korchinski from the AHL.
