The Chicago Blackhawks have placed goaltender Petr Mrazek on injured reserve due to a left groin injury. Mrazek's absence follows a 4-2 defeat against Winnipeg, where he was replaced by Arvid Soderblom after the first period.

This season, Mrazek has recorded a 7-11-1 record, a 2.83 goals-against average, and a .906 save percentage in 20 games. In light of his injury, the Blackhawks have recalled goaltender Drew Commesso and defenseman Kevin Korchinski from the AHL.
