"Marian Hossa practiced with the Blackhawks on Wednesday and is scheduled to play against the Blue Jackets on Thursday night at the United Center.

The veteran winger missed Sunday night's 3-1 loss to the Ducks with a lower-body injury, but was back skating on a line with Patrick Sharp and Andrew Ladd during a nearly hour-long practice at the UC.

Cristobal Huet will make the start in goal. It will be his first appearance since coughing up a four-goal, third-period lead in the Hawks' 6-5 shootout loss in Minnesota on Saturday night.

"I looked at the tape (and) looked at the things I could have done better," Huet said. "Basically know what you did well and what you did wrong and try to bounce back and have a good game (Thursday)."
