Marian Hossa was ruled out of action for two to three weeks on Tuesday, a day after the Blackhawks forward collided with teammate Nick Boynton in practice. Blackhawks coach Joel Quenneville told reporters after Tuesday's skate that the lower-body injury was not related to one that forced him out of five games between Oct. 28-Nov. 7.
"Since he came back from when he was injured (earlier), he was progressing -- he was coming off a great game in Los Angeles, played a lot of minutes, played him on a couple lines," Quenneville said. "He's useful in so many different areas -- power play, penalty kill. Obviously, there's a void there."
Hossa has eight goals and 10 assists in 21 games. Hossa missed nearly the first two months of last season after undergoing shoulder surgery.
The Chicago Tribune reported that Hossa left the ice Monday favoring his right leg.
