It looked like Murphy's season may have been over, but he had recently returned to practice weeks ago.
With four games left on the Blackhawks calendar, the defenseman looks to get back into the swing of things and help the team move into the next season.
The Blackhawks will take on the Nashville Predators at the United Center on Friday at 7:30 PM CT. The game will be broadcast on NBC Sports Chicago +2.
