Hossa (knee) won't make the trip to Columbus for Saturday's regular-season finale against the Blue Jackets.

Analysis:

With the Blackhawks now locked into the third seed in the Central Division, the team will shift its focus to getting banged-up players, including Hossa, healthy and ready to go for Game 1 of Chicago's first-round playoff series. The 37-year-old winger resumed skating Thursday, and appears to be on track to suit up for Chicago's first postseason contest. Expect an update on Hossa's status ahead of the Hawks' first playoff game.
