Pregame New lineup for the Penguins, Ilya Solovyov makes his Pittsburgh debut, Rutger McGroarty is back from the AHL to get back in the absence of Bryan Rust (suspension). Arturs Silovs gets the call in the net. First period Chicago starts the game with their third line, so Dan Muse elects to put his fourth […]
If you like fast games, the start of this one was… not that. It took more than six minutes for either team to register a shot on net. The Blackhawks got the game’s first power play and, while it didn’t convert, the Hawks got some momentum and took the early lead. But the Penguins got away with a blatant trip and tied the game two minutes later. The teams took a 1-1 score — and a healthy number of penalty minutes — to the room after 20 minutes.
The Blackhawks spent most of the second perio...
On Thursday night, Patrick Kane became the all-time leading point producer among American-born players in the NHL.

For those scoring at home, Kane was credited with the second assist on a goal from Ben Chiarot. Alex DeBrincat had the other assist. The goal came at 9:52 into the second...

Connor Bedard and Sidney Crosby. That should get you to tune in for this one. But the Blackhawks have been playing well lately, even if the wins aren’t coming as frequently as we would like. With the moms on the trip, the Blackhawks had really good energy in Minnesota. Everyone had a day off on Wednesday, so the players should have fresh legs again tonight.
Based on the lines at the Blackhawks’ morning skate, it looks like Colton Dach will slide into the lineup in place of Landon Slaggert...
The Chicago Blackhawks are in Pittsburgh on Thursday night to take on a red-hot Penguins team.
The Pittsburgh Penguins have put together an impressive season to this point, currently sitting second in the Metropolitan Division with a .618 points percentage. They’ve also been one of the league’s hottest teams of late, going 6-2-2 in their last 10 games, riding a four-game winning streak, and collecting points in seven straight. The underlying numbers don’t quite land in elite territory, bu...
Things did not look good for Minnesota Wild goaltender Jesper Wallstedt at the end of the first period on Tuesday night.
He had given up three goals, and the Wild were down 3-0 against the lowly Chicago Blackhawks. A save on a Connor Bedard shot in the second period that almost trickled past h...

Two pieces dropped on Wednesday morning that give us two unique perspectives on the current state of the Blackhawks’ rebuild. One comes from outside Chicago, an analytically-driven assessment that compares the Blackhawks’ projection for the future (the next seven years in this case) to other organizations in a similar situation. The other is a conversation with Blackhawks general manager Kyle Davidson about how he views the trajectory of the franchise.
Because the two speak to similar ide...
The Blackhawks lost a game last night. I really like this paragraph from Mark Lazerus’ postgame for The Athletic after accounting for Minnesota’s three-goal comeback:
None of those was a ghastly, unforgivable miscue by the Blackhawks. The Wild are just good. And they fought back. Sometimes that’s just how it happens. Hockey’s not always a zero-sum game.
Earlier this morning I wrote about the idea of “good losses” for the Blackhawks right now. This roster will undoubtedly evolve i...

The Blackhawks blew a three-goal lead and ultimately lost 4-3 in the shootout to the Minnesota Wild on Tuesday night in St. Paul.
Everything started off well enough for the Hawks, as Teuvo scored just over a minute into his first game back from injury for a quick 1-0 Chicago lead:

If you were wondering how the new-look top line would do for the Blackhawks, they scored the game’s first goal only 79 seconds into the game (on their first shift). The Hawks then proceeded to out-skate the Wild for most of the rest of the opening period, and doubled their lead almost 14 minutes after the first goal. Chicago took a 14-8 shots on goal advantage and 2-0 score to the room after 20 minutes.
You knew the Wild were going to push back in the second period, and they did. The next...

The Hawks are up north this evening for a Central Division matchup against the Minnesota Wild.
Minnesota’s been one of the league’s biggest surprises through the first half-ish of the season, sitting fifth in the league standings with 68 points in 53 games (29-14-10). The Wild surged in late 2025 with seven-game winning streaks in both November and December that would’ve sent them to the top of the division were it not for the absurd pace being maintained by the league-leading Avalanche. ...
After a less-than-ideal performance on Sunday evening on home ice, the Blackhawks get a quick two-game trip that starts with their first look at Quinn Hughes on the Minnesota Wild. The Wild come in only 4-4-2 in their last 10 games and locked into a heated battle with Dallas for home ice in the Central Division’s 2-3 matchup in the first round of the playoffs.
The Blackhawks threw their lines in a blender on Monday, so tonight will be an experiment with the healthiest roster they’ve had i...
The Blackhawks are in Minnesota tonight, and we saw them roll out a new look lineup on Monday at practice before boarding a plane north. I wrote my thoughts on the lineup yesterday, but wanted to circle back to a comment from Blackhawks head coach Jeff Blashill that I cited in my bullets yesterday regarding Connor Bedard :
“Maybe that’s hurt him, not having consistency there,” Blashill said on Sunday night. “Sometimes you’re trying to help spark guys and you end up hurting them by makin...
