Frank Nazar reacted immediately to being hit in the face by a puck, throwing his gloves down and heading straight to the locker room, indicating serious concern about his injury.

The Bill Masterton Memorial Trophy is awarded annually to the National Hockey League player who best exemplifies the qualities of perseverance, sportsmanship, and dedication to ice hockey.

In Tuesday night's win against the Islanders, Lardis posted his first career multi-point game. He scored once and added two assists. Nazar scored and had an assist. Bertuzzi scored and had an assist. That line was easily the Blackhawks' best.

Sam Reinhart is listed as day-to-day, with more tests scheduled for tomorrow. Brad Marchand's rehabilitation plan will be clearer in the next 10 days, while Anton Lundell is also day-to-day. Nike Mikkola and Uvis Balinskis are expected to be out for 4-6 weeks, and Mackie Samoskevich is sidelined for 7-10 days.

The Blackhawks did some additional testing on Moore's injury on Monday, and the news from head coach Jeff Blashill wasn't great. Moore will miss "significant time," and Blashill said the Hawks will know more "in a few weeks." Moore was seen leaving the United Center in a walking boot.

Earlier this week, Hawks6 in the comments section asked about the fastest skaters on the Blackhawks right now. Which was a question I had floating around in the back of my brain for a while, but the question sparked me digging in as we got to the NHL's Olympic break. Using NHL EDGE data, I did some digging on the Blackhawks' team speed. The Blackhawks' youngsters possess impressive speed. But who's using it, and how frequently, was interesting.
