The Chicago Blackhawks fell 7-2 to the Carolina Hurricanes on Thursday night at the United Center in a game that unraveled almost immediately.
The Hurricanes went up 1-0 just 19 seconds into the game. Nikolaj Ehlers set up Sean Walker, who ripped a wrist shot past Spencer Knight before the Blackhawks had a chance to settle in.

The Chicago Blackhawks wrap up the season with a four-game homestand, starting Thursday night against the Carolina Hurricanes.
It’s been a little over two months since the Blackhawks last saw the Hurricanes, and not much has changed for the team from Carolina. The Hurricanes are perched atop the Metropolitan Division, having locked up the top divisional seed by sitting 10 points clear of the second-place Pittsburgh Penguins. Only the Colorado Avalanche have put together a better overall s...

As more and more prospects have arrived at the NHL level over the last few seasons while more and more losses have piled up alongside them, there’s been a thought lurking in the back of my mind that was summarized fairly well in this comment from SCH user Spknight appreciation association in the recap from last Thursday’s loss to the Oilers :
You have to wonder a bit what all this losing is doing to the young core’s culture. All the old leadership that left had at least some idea of wha...

Chicago’s final road game of the 2025-26 season ended with a defeat, this one a 3-2 loss to the San Jose Sharks.
The Hawks scored first just a power play expired about nine minutes into the game, when some nifty puck movement resulted in a one-timer for Frank Nazar, with the resultant rebound leading to an easy tap-in for Ryan Donato:

The words “last” and “final” continue popping up in descriptions of Blackhawks games, as Chicago wraps up the road portion of its 2025-26 season on Monday night in San Jose against the Sharks.
A quick glance at the standings suggests that San Jose is the superior team, as a win in this game would insert the Sharks into a three-way tie for the second wild card spot with Nashville and Los Angeles, which already have 81 points in 76 games and San Jose at 79 in 75. But the minus-36 goal diffe...

The Blackhawks snapped a five-game losing streak on Saturday night with a 4-2 win over a struggling Seattle Kraken team.
Neither team scored in the first, but it took Teuvo Teravainen to score on an otherwise sloppy power play 9:15 into the second period.

The Chicago Blackhawks continue their road trip out west with a stop against the Seattle Kraken on Saturday.
The Kraken sit four points out of the second wild card spot with 75 points. Four teams stand between Seattle and the San Jose Sharks and, boy, Seattle isn’t quite the analytics darling. The Kraken sit in 31st in 5-on-5 shot attempt share (one spot below Chicago) and 31st in 5-on-5 expected goals share (one spot above Chicago). Add on their minus-25 goal differential, and it’s all m...

The Blackhawks were officially eliminated from playoff contention night on Thursday night in Edmonton after a 3-1 loss to the Oilers.
After a scoreless first period and with Spencer Knight briefly in the locker room while dealing with an equipment issue, Adam Henrqiue scored the game’s first goal on a breakaway that he finished after Arvid Soderblom made the initial save.

Chicago heads away from home ice for the final time this season, kicking off a three-game road trip in Edmonton against the Oilers on Thursday night.
The Oilers may just be clicking at the right time, entering this game as winners of four straight and with a 9-4-1 records in their last 14 games. Playoff seeding is still yet to be decided in the Pacific, with Anaheim and Vegas also fighting with the Oilers for divisional supremacy. All three teams have played 75 games, with Anaheim up top ...

During the second period of Tuesday’s game against the Jets, as a 1-0 Hawks lead became a 3-1 deficit thanks to a pair of quick Winnipeg goals in the second, some idiot posted this online:

A touch dramatic? Probably. It wasn’t just that the Hawks were suddenly down two goals, it’s that a promising first period had — once again! — bee...

The Blackhawks rallied from a 3-1 deficit to force overtime but could not pick up the victory, losing 4-3 to the Winnipeg Jets on Tuesday night at the United Center.
About five minutes into the first period, Chicago went ahead 1-0 on the first NHL goal of Anton Frondell’s career:

The Blackhawks have a quick stop at the United Center on Tuesday night before another road trip begins later this week, with Jonathan Toews and the Winnipeg Jets visiting 1901 W. Madison this evening.
When these two teams met four weeks ago in Manitoba — a 3-2 Jets win in overtime — Winnipeg’s playoff hopes seemed unrealistic, with the Jets then being 10 points out with 23 games remaining and four teams in the way. Time continues to be a dwindling resource but the Jets are making it inter...
