Dvorak (lower body) will miss Wednesday's practice session, raising doubts about his availability against Chicago on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
In his 10 games, Dvorak has garnered four goals, three assists and 14 blocks while averaging 16:28 of ice time. With the Illinois native questionable versus the Hawks, the Hab called up Jesse Ylonen from AHL Laval, though it's Mathieu Perreault who would most likely step into the top-six role vacated by Dvorak.
