(CBS) The Blackhawks have activated forward Marcus Kruger from injured reserve, they announced Tuesday. He had been out since being placed on IR with an upper-body injury on Jan. 1.

The 26-year-old Kruger has two goals and eight assists in 39 games for the Blackhawks this season. He has long been a key figure in Chicago's penalty-killing unit as well.

In other Blackhawks news, forward Dennis Rasmussen missed morning skatearound because of sickness. His availability for Tuesday night is unclear.
