Michal Rozsival said he was surprised when the Los Angeles Kings pulled Jonathan Quick in the second period of Sunday's Game 2 win. Kings coach Darryl Sutter replaced Quick with Jonathan Bernier after Michal Handzus scored midway through the second period to make it 4-0 for Chicago. "It was surprising to me they pulled him. But we did a good job," Rozsival said. "We scored early on him, we got one on the power play, we kind of kept him in the crease and it's always nice to see when you can force a goalie out of the net with the way you play. But I'm pretty sure he'll be back. He's one of the best goalies."

Michal Rozsival is dealing with an upper body injury. Rozsival will consequently miss Friday's game against Nashville. He's considered day-to-day beyond that.

Michal Rozsival has four assists in his last five games. Rozsival is having a surprisingly good fantasy season when he is in the lineup as he has 11 assists in 22 games with a plus-17 rating, stats he hasn't seen fantasy-wise since the 2006-07 season. He may be worth activating in deeper pools if you do not have the need for goals at this stage of the season.

Michal Rozsival doesn't have a goal in regulation time this season, but he netted the game-winner in Monday's shootout against Nashville. "Everyone was saying, 'Put him in, put him in,' the last few games," Patrick Kane said. "He's one of those guys in practice who seems to score every time on the move he pulled out there." This was Rozsival's fifth career shootout attempt and first shootout goal. Maybe his success on Monday will motivate him to score his first regulation goal in over a year.

Michal Rozsival and Brandon Bollig are both healthy scratches Friday night. Rozsival has generally been a solid player for Chicago this season, with eight assists and a plus-14 rating while averaging 17:15 minutes per night in 18 games. Bollig is pointless in 17 games this season, playing about seven minutes a tilt.

He is 34, in his 12th NHL season, yet the Chicago Blackhawks feel they hit the jackpot when they signed Michal Rozsival as a free agent before this season. Rozsival has seven assists in only 16 games, has a whopping plus-14 rating - only Jonathan Toews, at plus-17, is higher with the Hawks - and has formed a nice third blue-line tandem with Nick Leddy while sharing time with the more physically oriented Sheldon Brookbank. Rozsival was signed for his defensive skills more than for offense. But freed from the shackles of the Phoenix Coyotes' defensive-minded system, he has turned back the clock and looked like the more offensively gifted player he was with the Pittsburgh Penguins and New York Rangers. ''The way this team is playing, it's pretty much offensive-minded throughout the lineup,'' Rozsival said. ''I don't think anybody would be happy if I was just dumping the pucks off the glass on this team, so I'm trying to do my best. I knew I was able to play offense.'' ''His patience with the puck, the level that he's played with the puck, is one thing maybe I undervalued,'' Chicago coach Joel Quenneville said.
