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.
