It looks as if Kris Versteeg will play against Boston Sunday afternoon.
He collided with teammate Bryan Bickell in Friday's game and missed the thrid period but skated Saturday and appears good to go against the Bruins. Keep Versteeg active if you need him.

Kris Versteeg registered an assist in his return to the Chicago Blackhawks on Saturday.
The Florida Panthers dealt Versteeg to Chicago, but his reunion was overshadowed by the Blackhawks' brutal 7-2 loss to the Nashville Predators. Versteeg's fantasy value is likely to be limited in Chicago as he's projected to spend a lot of time on the team's third line.

Kris Versteeg played mostly alongside Andrew Shaw and Bryan Bickell on the third line on Saturday night while picking up an assist in his effort.
Versteeg went from a "top dog" situation in Florida to more of a role playing situation in Chicago. He spent the majority of his ice-time alongside Bickell and Shaw (66.1 percent of his shifts), but also saw a couple of shifts alongside Patrick Sharp and Jonathan Toews (11.7 percent of his time on ice). He did garner some second unit power-play time (2:38) alongside Brandon Pirri and Brandon Saad, so that's a little bit of a positive, but it probably won't be enough to ensure that he's entirely fantasy relevant anymore.
