Rozsival was placed on injured reserved Sunday due to an undisclosed injury.
EDGE Analysis
The move was made retroactive to Jan. 25 and all we know about Rozsival's injury is that he was "banged up" during Wednesday's practice and isn't expected to miss much time, according to several Blackhawks beat writers. Either way, the veteran defenseman has logged exactly one assist while averaging 15:12 of ice time in 14 appearances this season, so his absence isn't likely to affect many fantasy owners. Gustav Forsling was called up to Chicago in a corresponding move.

Rozsival has been a healthy scratch for 37 of the Blackhawks' 51 games this season.
EDGE Analysis
Rozsival inked a one-year deal with the Blackhawks this offseason to serve as the team's seventh defenseman during the 2016-17 campaign, so this level of participation was to be expected. The 38-year-old blueliner only has one assist in 14 games this season, and isn't a viable fantasy option in any format.

Rozsival penned a one-year deal with Chicago on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Rozsival gets a new contract despite being 37 years old and having been a healthy scratch in the Blackhawks' final three playoffs games. Given the depth on Chicago's blue line, fantasy owners may want to reconsider Rozsival for their lineups as he is poised to be an inconsistent contributor.

Rozsival (lower body) will rejoin the lineup Monday against the Kings, Tracey Myers of CSN Chicago reports.
EDGE Analysis
Rozsival presumably suffered the lower-body ailment during Friday's morning skate, forcing him to miss that evening's contest against the Stars. It appears the rest over the weekend was enough for him, but just nine points in 39 games and a lack of ice time (15:19) keep him out of fantasy relevance in the majority of leagues.

Rozsival (lower body) won't be in the lineup for Friday's game against Dallas.
EDGE Analysis
The veteran defenseman was seen making an early exit from Friday's morning skate, so it's presumable that he suffered the injury then. The injury couldn't have come at a worse time for Rozsival, as he'd scored three of his nine points on the season in his last two games. Look for Erik Gustafsson to be inserted in to the lineup in Rozsival's place.

Rozsival recorded a pair of assists and a plus-1 rating in Sunday's win over the Red Wings.
EDGE Analysis
Rozsival helped set up a Patrick Kane goal just 21 seconds into the contest and Chicago never looked back en route to grabbing the 4-1 win. The 37-year-old, with just eight points on the season, is unlikely to be much of a factor in most fantasy formats.

Roszival (lower body) will return to the lineup for Thursday's game against the Coyotes, Mark Lazerus of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
Roszival missed Tuesday's contest against the Avalanche with the lower-body issue, but it sounds as though the extra couple days of rest was enough for him to rejoin the lineup. Either Victor Svedberg or Erik Gustafssson will likely come out to make room for his return.

Rozsival (lower body) will miss Tuesday's game against the Avalanche, Tracey Myers of CSN Chicago reports.
EDGE Analysis
Rozsival missed a game dealing with a lower-body injury, and it appears the week off during the All-Star break wasn't quite enough time to fully heal. Viktor Svedberg will slot into the lineup in his stead, while Rozsival's next opportunity to return will come Thursday against the Coyotes.

Rozsival is considered questionable for Tuesday's game against the Avalanche with a lower-body injury, Tracey Myers of CSN Chicago reports.
EDGE Analysis
It's unclear when exactly Rozsival's lower-body issue surfaced, but it could threaten his availability for Tuesday. If he does end up missing the contest, Robert Scuderi would likely draw into the lineup in his place, but expect another update on gameday.

Rozsival (ankle) was activated from injured reserve Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Rozsival has been out since suffering a gruesome injury in last season's Western Conference Semifinal, and is now eligible to return for the defending champs. The 37-year old defenseman was a productive player in his younger days, even scoring 40 points with the Rangers in 2006-07. However, since the 2010-11 campaign, Rozsival hasn't scored more than 12 points in a season and has played in only 53.4% of possible games.
