This Could Be the Night: Blackhawks at Flames Preview
The Blackhawks have slowly started heading back towards Chicago but have one final Canadian stop on their road trip with Friday’s game against the Calgary Flames. The Flames have really been stumbling out of the gate in 2025–26, though they are on a two-game winning streak. After their 5–1 win over the Blue Jackets on Wednesday, they sit at 4–9–2 for a .333 points percentage that has them anchored near the bottom of the league. For that Blue Jackets game, they managed to win despite being...
Blackhawks Week That Was and Will Be, 11/7: Just win, baby
Sorry it’s late, folks. It’s been a week. We’re about one month into this season now and we’ve talked about the process a lot and we’re going to continue to do that because that’s the path to long-term sustainability here. The good teams always seem to have the puck more than their opponents, even in the postseason, and that’s why those possession numbers are going to be a constant theme because all of those little things on the ice, all of those little 1-on-1 moments that are won, add up...

Bandages: Blackhawks 5, Canucks 2
A three-game skid ended on Wednesday night in Vancouver as a Tyler Bertuzzi hat trick helped propel the Hawks to a 5-2 win over the Canucks. Vancouver thought they had a 1-0 lead in the second period when Conor Garland scored, but a successful challenge from the Blackhawks confirmed that Garland pretty clearly cross-checked Spencer Knight prior to the goal, which was disallowed.

No, Not Now: Blackhawks at Canucks Preview
The Blackhawks will continue their search for the first win of their lengthy road trip in British Columbia on Wednesday night when they face the Vancouver Canucks. It’s the first repeat opponent of the season for the Hawks, as these two teams met a few weeks ago in Chicago and the visitors skated away with both points following a 3-2 shootout defeat for the home side . The Hawks had a 2-0 lead in that game after one period that was gone by the second intermission, part of a season-long tr...

You’ll Know We’ve Been Here Before We Are Done: Kraken 3, Blackhawks 1
The Blackhawks remain without a win on their six-game road trip after a third straight defeat on Monday night, losing 3-1 to the Seattle Kraken.

One Short Day in the Emerald City: Blackhawks at Kraken Preview
The Seattle Kraken are the next opponent on the Blackhawks’ docket as they continue their lengthy jaunt away from the Windy City. Seattle has opened this season with 14 points in 11 games (5-4-2), leaving them towards the middle of the standings in the Pacific Division and the Western Conference overall. Seattle won its first two games but hasn’t quite piled up the victories since, losing their last two games and four of the last six, most recently a 3-2 overtime loss to the New York Rang...

Gone ‘Til November: Oilers 3, Blackhawks 2
The Blackhawks played well enough to force overtime but not well enough to skate away with both points as the host Edmonton Oilers picked up a 3-2 win over Chicago on Saturday night. The first period ended scoreless, but only by a fraction of a second because of this Leon Draisaitl shot during an Edmonton power play that crossed the goal line moments after the clock hit zero: Time expired a fraction of a second before Leon Draisaitl's shot crossed the goal line.

November Rain: Blackhawks at Oilers Preview
Chicago’s sojourn through Canada continues this weekend as the Blackhawks face off against Connor McDavid and the Edmonton Oilers on Saturday night. It’s a similar Cup-or-bust season for the Oilers, who lost in six games to the Florida Panthers in last summer’s after losing in seven games to the same Panthers in 2024. With Sasha Barkov out for the season in Sunrise, though, the possibility of Edmonton finally summiting the top of the hockey world seems more real than ever. And it’s largel...

Darkness Falls Across The Land: Jets 6, Blackhawks 3
The first night of a six-game road trip did not go the Blackhawks way, as Chicago lost 6-3 to the Winnipeg Jets on Thursday night up in Canada. The Jets got on the board first, scoring less than two minutes into the first period. Vladislav Namestnikov finished off a slick passing sequence from Gustav Nyquist and Nino Niederreiter, converting on the power play to give Winnipeg a 1–0 lead.

Hand Me Down World: Blackhawks at Jets Preview
The Blackhawks kick off a long road trip on Thursday night up in Canada against the Winnipeg Jets — and franchise icon Jonathan Toews. The Jets are off to a solid start through their first 10 games, sitting at a 7-3-0 record and looking like a team that’s found its footing early — or at least knows how to lean hard on Connor Hellebuyck until the rest catches up. The Jets are coming off a 4–3 overtime win against the Wild on Tuesday, and it’s a recap that will be familiar to Blackhawks fan...

Blackhawks Week That Was and Will Be, 10/29: Flying High Again
And just like that , the sun is shining once again in Blackhawks land. It’s difficult to avoid getting carried away when Connor Bedard does things like he did on Tuesday night which speak to the incredible hype that has followed him around since he was a teenager, long before he started lighting up scoreboards for the Blackhawks. The same can be said when Frank Nazar is flying around the ice and racking up points as well, because these are two of the players expected to be at the heart of...
