Blackhawks' Jiri Sekac: To return Tuesday

Sekac (illness) skated on the fourth line in pregame warmups and thus can be considered likely to play Tuesday at Colorado, Mark Lazerus of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

Sekac will skate on the fourth line alongside Brandon Mashinter and Dennis Rasmussen. The 23-year-old Czech winger has notched one goal and two assists through 23 games for Chicago this season.
