The Blackhawks returned to practice in Denver on Monday afternoon but Rozsival was one of three players who didn't participate; Duncan Keith sat out but is fine and will play tonight while Jonathan Toews will meet the team in Arizona. Coach Joel Quenneville said after practice that Rozsival was questionable for tonight's game against the Colorado Avalanche.
