Usually I have prospect highlights a little lower in our bullets, but the injury suffered by Connor Bedard last night makes it feel like a call to Rockford might need to happen. The good news is the IceHogs were at home, so it’s only a drive to get someone to Chicago.
The most likely candidate to bring some offense to help the Blackhawks if Bedard is going to miss any significant time would be Nick Lardis , who scored his 13th goal of the season for the IceHogs last night. Here are a coup...

The Chicago Blackhawks couldn’t complete the comeback Friday night, falling 3–2 to the St. Louis Blues in a loss that was made worse by Connor Bedard suffering an injury in the final seconds of the game.
The Blues struck first just 3:41 into the game, cashing in on a delayed penalty. Logan Mailloux picked off a pass at the point, drifted into the circle, and snapped a far-side shot to put the Blues up 1-0.

A weekend back-to-back for the Hawks starts on Friday night in St. Louis against the Blues.
A few months ago, these two teams met in the same building and Chicago handed St. Louis a thorough ass-kicking in an 8-3 game that may not have been as close as the already lopsided score indicated. What have the Blues been up to since then? Most recently, they were getting their asses handed to them by the Nashville Predators, losing 7-2 there on Thursday night before getting back into town late. ...

The elephant in seemingly every room in the NHL right now is the future of Quinn Hughes in Vancouver.
The star defenseman will be an unrestricted free agent in 2027 and things are bad in Vancouver right now. The Canucks are in last place in the entire league, and things aren’t getting better.
This all started, however, after last season at the Canucks’ season-ending media when Vancouver’s front office decided to throw out there that they weren’t sure about Hughes’ future and if he wa...

The Blackhawks are out of town on business tonight. Back-to-backs haven’t treated them well this year, but the most important game in those scenarios is the first one. And the Blackhawks are invading St. Louis to face a vulnerable, banged up Blues squad tonight that’s playing the second half of a back-to-back of their own. The Blues got obliterated by the Predators 7-2 last night, including a franchise record-tying four goals from Steven Stamkos.
On the other side, the Blackhawks are comi...

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...

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...

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 ...

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...

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...
