Lukas Reichel will be a healthy scratch on Tuesday against Utah HC, allowing Dach to re-enter the lineup. Dach made his NHL debut on January 3rd and was a regular in the Blackhawks lineup for the entire month before being reassigned to the Rockford IceHogs (AHL) at the beginning of February. The 22-year-old forward has four points (1G / 3A) in 13 games with the Blackhawks this season.
The Hurricanes are coming off a 6-3 loss to the Toronto Maple Leafs and will likely switch to Andersen between the pipes on Tuesday for his first action since before the break for the 4Nations Face-Off. The 35-year-old Andersen has a 2.12 GAA and .914 SV% in nine games this season (6-3-0). The Hurricanes enter the action on Tuesday as sizeable -212 road favorites against a Canadiens squad coming off a 5-2 win over the Ottawa Senators.

Savoie made his NHL debut last season, playing one game with the Buffalo Sabres, but has not played since. The 21-year-old forward has been impressive at the AHL level this season, scoring 37 points (13G / 24A) in 45 games with the Bakersfield Condors.
Savoie was at Oilers' practice on Tuesday, and his call-up is expected to be made official before Saturday's game. The 21-year-old was acquired in the Ryan McLeod trade this summer and he is second on the Bakersfield Condors (AHL) in points this season with 13 goals and 24 assists (37 points) in 45 games.
Dickinson had already missed Chicagos' previous two contests before the break and is now expected to remain out for 2-to-3 weeks with a high ankle sprain. The 29-year-old centre will be missed in Chicago's already weak lineup, having seven goals and 16 points in 53 games this season.
Dickinson exited Wednesday's 4-3 loss to the Edmonton Oilers after only 7:05 time-on-ice due to a high ankle sprain injury. The 29-year-old Dickinson had trouble leaving the ice and was seen in a walking boot following the game. He has 16 points (7G / 9A) in 53 games this season.
Joseph did not play on Tuesday due to an illness but will return to the lineup on Thursday against the Florida Panthers. The 27-year-old Joseph is averaging 12:05 time-on-ice, recording five points (2G / 3A) and 67 hits in 35 games this season.
Andersen will make his ninth start of the season when the Hurricanes travel to Minnesota to take on the Wild on Thursday. Andersen struggled in his last outing, allowing four goals on 26 shots in a 4-2 loss to the Kings on Saturday. It was just the second loss of the season for Andersen, who now owns a 6-2-0 record along with a .913 SV%. He's a good bet to get back in the win column on Thursday as the Hurricanes enter action at -180 on the money line.
