Andrew Mangiapane’s time with the Edmonton Oilers was certainly one to forget, and it’s already clear that he’s happy to be in a new situation with the Chicago Blackhawks. Mangiapane made his debut with the Blackhawks on Friday, a 6-3 loss to the Vancouver Canucks, and even in a losing situation, he’s already got plenty…

Game Preview
The Chicago Blackhawks host the Utah Mammoth on Monday night as the two play for their second of three meetings in March.
The Blackhawks last played the Mammoth on March 1, which was also the last time the Hawks won a game ( a 4-0 shutout win for Arvid Soderblom ). Utah made a large splash ahead of the trade deadline by trading for defenseman MacKenzie Weegar, sending Olli Maatta, forward prospect Jonathan Castagna, and three second-round picks in the 2026 draft to the Calgary Flames in r...

The Chicago Blackhawks forced overtime with their first 6-on-5 goal of the season, but the comeback ultimately fell short as they lost 4-3 when the Dallas Stars scored just 22 seconds into the extra frame.
The Blackhawks got the scoring going with two goals in the first half of the opening frame. First, at 6:59, Tyler Bertuzzi redirected Artyom Levshunov’s shot for a tip-in goal, putting the Blackhawks up 1-0.

Game Preview
The Chicago Blackhawks are in Dallas on Sunday night to take on the Stars for the third and final time this season.
Not much has changed for the Stars in the standings since the Blackhawks last saw them on Jan. 1: they remain second in the Central Division behind the Colorado Avalanche, with the Minnesota Wild still lurking close behind. Where things have changed is under the hood. Dallas has improved noticeably in its shot metrics over the past two months, moving from 31st to 26th in sho...
At the 2026 NHL Trade Deadline, the Edmonton Oilers acquired exactly three players, and they all came from one team. First, on March 3, they picked up defenceman Connor Murphy from the Chicago Blackhawks for a second‑round pick. One day later, they circled back to Chicago to acquire forwards Jason Dickinson and Colton Dach in…
Pencils down, general managers. The teams you have now assembled will be the ones you’re married to for the rest of the season. For Edmonton Oilers general manager Stan Bowman, his work was all completed in the days leading up to the trade deadline, making two separate trades with the Chicago Blackhawks: one to acquire…
The Edmonton Oilers have been searching for answers to their leaky defence all season. Stan Bowman believes he may have found them, making a pair of deals with the Chicago Blackhawks this week that brought in Jason Dickinson, Connor Murphy, and Colton Dach. Both Murphy and Dickinson are proven defensive stalwarts, while the 23-year-old Dach…
On February 20th in 2015, Colorado Avalanche defenseman Brad Stuart flipped a 92 foot center ice wrist shot past Chicago Blackhawks goaltender Corey Crawford with just over five minutes remaining in the final frame at the United Center.
Crawford's miscue came as the third goal allowed in just three minutes, breaking a 1-1 tie through 51 minutes. To be fair, the preceding pair were
In a team statement on Saturday morning, the Blackhawks announced the death of former player and broadcaster Troy Murray. He was 63 years old.

The Vancouver Canucks snapped a nine-game losing streak on the road with a 6-3 win over the Chicago Blackhawks on Friday night at the United Center. While the game wasn’t as dreadful as the score suggests, let’s recap this very winnable game for the Hawks.
Ryan Donato opened up scoring just over a minute into the game after collecting his own dump-in.

For the fourth consecutive trade deadline day, the Edmonton Oilers didn’t make a trade. Of course, the Oilers made their moves earlier this week, acquiring Connor Murphy, Jason Dickinson, and Colton Dach from the Chicago Blackhawks for a 2028 second, a 2027 first, and Andrew Mangiapane in two separate trades. Overall, those weren’t bad trades…

The Chicago Blackhawks return to the United Center on Friday night following a four-game road trip (five if you count before the Olympic break) and host the Vancouver Canucks.
The Canucks sit dead last in the standings with an 18-36-7 record (good enough for a whopping 43 points). As the Canucks deal with the existential crisis of committing to a rebuild, a 1-7-2 record in their last 10 games has slid by, including losses in their last three games. With the trade deadline dominating headl...
Over the last few days, it certainly seemed like Nick Foligno was going to be traded at some point before the deadline, but the destination was the real mystery. That question was answered on Friday morning when reports surfaced that the veteran forward was headed to the Minnesota Wild.
The Chicago Blackhawks confirmed the move shortly after the initial reports:

Nick Foligno has been a tremendous veteran leader and mentor for the young Chicago Blackhawks the past three seasons, but he has said his goodbyes this morning and is on his way to the Minnesota Wild in exchange for future considerations (i.e. nothing, really).

We’re less than a day away from the 2026 NHL trade deadline, and there’s no shortage of things going on, as the Edmonton Oilers have been one of the busier teams in recent days. They swung a pair of trades with the Chicago Blackhawks, picking up defenceman Connor Murphy on Monday in exchange for a…
Chicago was back on the practice ice on Thursday ahead of Friday’s home game against Vancouver, with some lineup shuffles occurring after a couple of trades this week.
Those shuffles were also required due to the apparent return of Wyatt Kaiser, who was injured just before the Olympic break and hadn’t played since Chicago returned to game action last week. But he was a full participant at Thursday’s practice, skating opposite Sam Rinzel. The forwards were also moved around now that neithe...
The Edmonton Oilers made another splash on the trade market on Wednesday night, acquiring forwards Jason Dickinson and Colton Dach from the Chicago Blackhawks in exchange for Andrew Mangiapane and their 2027 first-round pick.
