Blackhawks rule out Marian Hossa (lower body) for Thursday

Chicago Blackhawks forward Marian Hossa (lower body) isn't ready to rejoin the Blackhawks on Thursday for the team’s tilt with the St. Louis Blues.

What It Means:

The good news is, he's feeling "pretty decent," which suggests he's not far off from being able to play. Chicago has zero incentive to rush him back before the postseason.

Owner of good possession numbers throughout his career, Hossa is sporting a 52.8 Corsi For Percentage and 2.1 Relative Corsi For Percentage at Even Strength, which are down from the past three seasons. He has 13 goals and 20 assists, with the goal total being a career low.
