"The Blackhawks should receive a rather significant boost to their lineup when they take on the Oilers on Sunday night at the United Center.

Winger Marian Hossa, who hasn't played since suffering an upper-body injury Oct. 27 against the Los Angeles Kings, is expected to return. Before being injured when he collided with the Kings' Jarret Stoll along the boards, Hossa was arguably the Hawks' top player this season with seven goals and four assists in 11 games.

Dave Bolland, sidelined since suffering an upper-body injury Oct. 29 against the Oilers, isn't expected to return until the middle of next week."
