Let’s Talk About Frank Nazar, Scoring Struggles, Process and Still Having a “Really Good Night”

The Blackhawks’ win over the Rangers on Wednesday night checked almost every box that you would want from the team. Connor Bedard scored a highlight-reel goal. Tyler Bertuzzi deposited loose change again. Spencer Knight was spectacular in net and got a shutout. The Blackhawks were able to beat Igor Shesterkin three times. It was the right bounce-back effort that you hoped to see. When I say almost every box, that’s because Frank Nazar still can’t buy a goal. He had a few chances. One...

Cheetah‑licious Christmas: Blackhawks 3, Rangers 0

The Chicago Blackhawks bounced back into the win column on Wednesday night with a 3-0 victory against the New York Rangers at the United Center. After a scoreless opening frame, the Blackhawks struck first with a shorthanded tally about seven minutes into the second. Louis Crevier chased down a cleared puck and powered his way to the net to finish it off. Credit goes to Ilya Mikheyev, who forced the turnover that started it all, and Matt Grzelcyk, who launched the clearing pass that sprun...

Blackhawks vs Rangers — Lineups, Broadcast Info, Game Thread

Okay, so we’ve all had a couple days to put the ugly weekend in the rearview mirror and move forward. The Blackhawks made the decision on their off day to sent a couple young guys to Rockford to get some work and called up just one forward, which means they’ll be skating a “normal” 12-6 lineup. The great news for all of us is tonight’s nationally broadcast game is actually an early game! Love me a 6:30 start on a weeknight. Let’s see if the Blackhawks show up on time and get back to what ...

My Only Wish (This Year): Blackhawks vs. Rangers Preview

The Chicago Blackhawks welcome the New York Rangers to the United Center on Wednesday night, kicking off the first of their two matchups this season and with both teams looking to get back in the win column. The Rangers’ season so far has been defined by uneven stretches and a standings picture that changes every other night. They’re currently on the outside looking in when it comes to the playoff race, but the Eastern Conference is so tightly packed that one good run — or one poorly time...

Blackhawks Call Up Dominic Toninato

For everyone wanted the Blackhawks to call up a forward for additional depth before playing three games in four days, your wish is granted. No, it’s not Nick Lardis . On Tuesday morning, the Blackhawks recalled forward  Dominic Toninato from the IceHogs. Toninato, 31, has 17 points (five goals, 12 assists) in 24 games this season with Rockford. He appeared in 20 NHL games with the Winnipeg Jets the previous three seasons combined. The Blackhawks signed Toninato to a two-year, tw...

Blackhawks Prospects Look to Extend World Junior Championship Streak (Sorry, Canada!)

The  2026 IIHF World Junior Hockey Championship  will take place between Dec. 26, 2025 and Jan. 5, 2026, in Saint Paul and Minneapolis, Minnesota. If we’ve learned anything about the World Junior Championship, it would be wise for countries to have a Blackhawks prospect on their roster. Each of the last five gold medal winning teams had at least one Blackhawks prospect (already drafted by Chicago) on its roster — and a couple more who eventually became Blackhawks. Here’s the list of ...

Blackhawks Send Sam Rinzel, Landon Slaggert to Rockford

On Monday afternoon the Blackhawks assigned defenseman  Sam Rinzel  and forward  Landon Slaggert  to the Rockford IceHogs. The Blackhawks did not call anyone up. The move leaves the Blackhawks with six defensemen on their NHL roster, which means they’ll go back to skating 12 forwards. Which, with Slaggert going to Rockford, also means Sam Lafferty will draw into the lineup until Nick Foligno returns from injury. Reset time I advocated for Slaggert to go to Rockford earlier ...

Blackhawks Bits: Rinzel, Slaggert assigned to Rockford

Following a dreadful pair of games over the weekend, the Blackhawks made a couple of roster moves that have seemed increasingly likely over the last few weeks. On Monday, the Blackhawks announced that Landon Slaggert and Sam Rinzel have both been sent to the Rockford IceHogs. The Blackhawks have sent Sam Rinzel and Landon Slaggert down to Rockford. Slaggert was expected. Rinzel wasn't. But this does feel like the right time for a confidence reset for him. — Ben Pope (@BenPopeCS...

Frank Nazar’s Night in Anaheim (There’s More to Hockey Than Just Scoring)

Frank Nazar is on the struggle bus right now for the Chicago Blackhawks. He hasn’t scored a goal since Oct. 28 — a stretch of 17 games. And some fans have extrapolated from his goal scoring woes that he isn’t playing well in other areas of the game. Since he returned from the injury he suffered in Calgary, Nazar has nine assists in 12 games; he has assists in eight of the 12 games. He’s put 23 shots on net over that span, but none of them have found the back of the net. Do the Blackh...

A BAD Weekend, Vanacker Snubbed? Slaggert’s Role, Patience, and Other Blackhawks Bullets

One week ago, the Blackhawks came back from a three-goal deficit to blow the doors off the Anaheim Ducks in Chicago. The game was chippy. The two teams were chirping each other the entire 60 minutes. And the Blackhawks let them know what the final score was as they left the ice. One week later, Joel Quenneville may have dusted off his Michael Jordan “and I took that personally” meme collection and got his team ready to play. The Blackhawks didn’t get off the bus, and the Ducks didn’t take...

Don’t Tell and We Won’t Ask: Ducks 7, Blackhawks 1

The Blackhawks capped a terrible weekend in California by losing 7-1 to the Anaheim Ducks on Sunday night. Let’s summarize the game thusly: Arvid Söderblom has given up seven goals. He's also made a career-high 46 saves. — Mark Lazerus ( @marklazerus.bsky.social ) December 7, 2025 at 9:33 PM No, we’re not going to look at any of the seven goals Anaheim scored. We will look at the one Chicago scored, which was from Tyler Bertuzzi but came long after the outcome had been d...

Blackhawks 1, Ducks 7 — Three Stars, Key Takeaways

When the Blackhawks hosted the Ducks one week ago, Anaheim jumped all over them and took and early lead. They pressed the Blackhawks early and often in the first period again tonight, but it took move than 10 minutes for the home team to take the lead tonight. The Ducks only scored once in the first period. The Blackhawks were completely overwhelmed in the second period, and the dam eventually broke. That tends to happen when the shots on goal ratio is nearly 4:1 in favor of the other tea...

The Abolition of Man: Blackhawks at Ducks Preview

A weeklong jaunt out west ends on Sunday night with the Blackhawks in the OC to face the Anaheim Ducks. This game serves as the final piece of bread on a California-centric sandwich of games that had one in Vegas and a pair in LA on the inside of it. These two teams met last Sunday at the United Center, with a Connor Bedard Show taking over during a 5-3 Blackhawks victory . Anaheim’s had three more games since, picking up wins over St. Louis last Monday and over Washington on Friday but h...
