The Blackhawks were shut out for the first time this season at home on Sunday night, losing 1-0 to the Colorado Avalanche.
Chicago had some golden opportunities in the opening 20 but the first period ended scoreless. Colorado took over in the second and then opened the scoring when Cale Makar fired this rebound home with 1:39 left before the second intermission:

The top team in the NHL standings will be on the ice at the United Center this evening, as the Blackhawks host the Colorado Avalanche on Sunday night.
The Avalanche are burying opponents on a nearly nightly basis, with just one regulation loss in their first 21 games (15-1-5). They enter this game on an 8-game winning streak, most recently beating the Nashville Predators 3-0 on the road on Saturday night, which means the possibility of heavy legs for the visitors does exist. Still, this t...

The Chicago Blackhawks fell 9–3 to the Buffalo Sabres Friday night in what was easily the worst loss of the season. Honestly, just pretend your TV accidentally shut off and never think about this again.
The Sabres opened the scoring at 13:57 of the first. Tage Thompson sent a slick pass to a wide open Josh Doan in front and he tucked it through the backdoor on his second attempt to make it 1-0 Sabres.

A fortuitous back-to-back arrives on the schedule for the Hawks this week, giving the team a chance to quickly dispense of the unpleasantries from Thursday night when it ventures to Buffalo to face the Sabres on Friday.
Buffalo hasn’t been to the playoffs since 2011 and doesn’t appear any closer to bucking that trend this season because it currently sits 29th in the league standings roughly one-quarter of the way through this season. The Sabres don’t do much of anything well: they’re 24th...

The Blackhawks took to social media on Friday morning to announced that the all-black home uniforms from the 1990s and 2000s are returning this season for select games at the United Center:

The Blackhawks continue their home-heavy portion of their schedule in the back half of November on Thursday night, hosting the Seattle Kraken at the United Center.
These two teams met a few weeks ago in the Pacific Northwest during a Hawks’ road trip, with the Kraken taking a 3-1 victory in a game that saw the Hawks turn in a decent performance despite that unfortunate result. Chicago seemed to have the better of the scoring opportunities in that game, but Seattle always seemed to have a ...

The Chicago Blackhawks handed the Toronto Maple Leafs their fifth straight loss with a 3–2 win on Saturday night at the United Center.
The Blackhawks got on the board first at 11:05 in the first period. Artyom Levshunov weaved his way around traffic before dishing cross-ice to Ryan Greene, who buried it from the bottom of the circle.

The Chicago Blackhawks are set to continue their four-game homestand as they welcome the Toronto Maple Leafs to the United Center Saturday night.
The Toronto Maple Leafs’ season has mostly been a familiar cocktail of high-octane offense, questionable decision-making in their own zone, and a fan base oscillating nightly between parade planning and existential dread. They hovered in that “they should probably be better than this” section of the standings early on, but recently the Maple Lea...

I know it’s been several days since it happened, but my mind still keeps venturing back to how delightful it was to spend a Sunday afternoon watching a couple of young stars do the things that Connor Bedard and Caleb Williams did last weekend. It wasn’t long after the final horn sounded on yet another multi-point performance from No. 98 that Williams reeled off a pair of late touchdowns to secure yet another Bears victory.
It’s easy to draw comparisons between the two, even if their sport...
