Like a Virgin: Blackhawks vs. Bruins Preview
The Chicago Blackhawks host the Boston Bruins on Saturday night, looking to reset their homestand after dropping three straight games at the United Center. The Bruins have put together a decently strong season so far, sitting in a wild card spot with a .583 points percentage (27-19-2), which is no small feat considering they’re slogging through what is arguably the toughest division in hockey — one where every team is north of .500. They’ve been especially hot of late, going 7–2–1 in thei...

What a Girl Wants: Blackhawks vs. Flames Preview
The Chicago Blackhawks host the Calgary Flames on Thursday night at the United Center, hoping to get back in the win column as the flu bug that’s ripped through the locker room appears to be winding down. This season has largely gone sideways for the Flames, who enter the midpoint of the year sitting 30th in the league by points percentage (.457) and looking every bit like a team stuck in neutral. On paper, they look mostly average — the Flames own 51.01 percent of shot attempts (12th in ...

Your One Way Street: Blackhawks vs. Oilers Preview
The Blackhawks look to continue their strong start to 2026 when they face the Edmonton Oilers on Monday night at the United Center. When these two teams met in Edmonton back on Nov. 1, the Oilers were still in their typical early-season malaise, owning just a 5-4-3 record before beating the Hawks 3-2 in overtime . But Edmonton hit the gas around Thanksgiving, going 11-5-1 in late November and most of December to surge from outside of the playoff picture to second place in the Pacific Divi...

All I Wanted: Blackhawks 3, Predators 0
Thanks in large part to its goaltending, Chicago picked up two more vital points with a 3-0 win on the road over the Nashville Predators on Saturday night. After a scoreless first period, the Hawks took the lead for good at the 6:41 mark of the second, when Connor Bedard evaded some Nashville defenders and found Tyler Bertuzzi in his usual spot for a tap-in goal: GOAL: Connor Bedard WHAT A PLAY to set up Bertuzzi for a tap-in goal 😮💨 pic.twitter.com/v83lt7e6rg — BHF (@Blackhaw...

Feeling Sorry: Blackhawks at Predators Preview
The Blackhawks have a quick turnaround from Friday’s loss at home to Washington, as they’re in Nashville on Saturday night to face the Predators. It’s the second between meeting between these two teams this season, with Nashville taking two points in the first one with a 4-3 victory at the United Center over Thanksgiving weekend. That win was right around the time that the Predators turned things around from a woeful 6-12-4 start. In the five or six weeks since, Nashville is 14-7-0, surgi...
