"Marian Hossa was a scratch Saturday against the Boston Bruins because of an undisclosed upper-body injury. He had been a game-time decision.

Hossa didn't participate in the morning skate after not practicing with the Hawks on Friday. Coach Joel Quenneville described the injury as "very short-term."

"He's not that bad," Quenneville said. "We're hoping he practices Monday and can play Tuesday.""
