The Blackhawks acquired Kimmo Timonen from the Flyers on Friday for a second-round draft pick in 2015 and a conditional fourth-round pick in 2016.
Timonen, who will turn 40 on March 18, has not played this season after doctors discovered blood clots in his lower right leg and in both lungs. He has been cleared for contact.
"Obviously this last summer when I got sick, I was back in Finland in a hospital bed, and they said you have to wait six months to see what's going to happen," Timonen told reporters on Friday night.
