Marian Hossa: To miss multiple weeks

Coach Joel Quenneville indicated on his radio show Monday that Hossa (lower body) may miss multiple weeks.

Analysis:

The Blackhawks have yet to take the ice Monday for practice, but the club will certainly have a different look to its top-six forwards. Coach Quenneville indicated that either Richard Panik or Teuvo Teravainen will likely move into Hossa's spot, providing one of the two with some added playing time on a potent line. The team should continue to update the veteran's status and timetable as he progresses, but a late February or early March return seems the best bet at this point.
