Health Concerns Raise For This Chicago Blackhawk

Stalock has been in the concussion protocol after sustaining an injury against the New York Islanders on November 1 after taking a serious blow to the head on a worrisome play.

This is the first time Stalock has taken the ice since 26 days ago, and the Blackhawks are taking it ''slow'', we are in hopes the 35-year old goalie who nearly retired a year ago recovers greatly, and puts his health over hockey.

Arvid Soderblom will presumably be sent back to the minors as a result, although he has outperformed veteran Petr Mrazek (1-4-1, .885 save percentage). Although unlikely, the Blackhawks could decide to release Mrazek once Stalock returns.
