Carolina Hurricanes center Jordan Staal, sidelined since Dec. 22 with concussion issues, has been activated from NHL injured reserve, the team announced Feb. 23, 2019.
The Blackhawks have 20 games left to nail down a playoff spot, but if they don't take care of business over the next two weeks the final four weeks of the season likely won't matter.
J.T. Compher scored his second goal of the game on a breakaway to snap a tie with 5:22 left in the third period, and the Colorado Avalanche beat the Chicago Blackhawks 5-3 for their third straight win.
