Philipp Kurashev Ruled Out For Saturday
2 years agoChicago Blackhawks forward Philipp Kurashev (upper body) won't play Saturday versus Minnesota. He was injured on a hit by Washington's Tom Wilson Thursday. The 23-year-old has posted nine goals and 16 assists in 70 appearances this season. He's been a top-six regular, but Blackhawks head coach Luke Richardson will now have to rethink his plans for Saturday. There's also a spot to fill on the first power-play unit, although fantasy managers haven't gotten a lot of value out of Blackhawks forwards this season due to the team's inability to put the puck into the net. Chicago has the poorest offensive record in the league, scoring only 2.45 goals per game.
