The Blackhawks’ lineup has been a revolving door through the first seven games of the season, with players being pushed out and brought in and lines being switched nearly every game. But one hole has become apparent on the roster – the lack of a second-line center. Though the hope was that Frank...
Since Kyle Davidson took over as the Blackhawks’ general manager a few years ago, one trend within his pipeline that we’ve seen develop is that Chicago is using the AHL as more of an asset. Whereas GMs of the past would let their prospects develop at their own colleges, Davidson has made it very...
The Blackhawks have already proven they’re not exactly a bottom-feeder this season on the ice, putting some great showings together despite a 2-3-1 start. They’ve looked good compared to last season’s lineup and should post a much better finish next spring. But many fans in Chicago haven’t even...
For the Blackhawks, it seems like much of the front office’s focus is finally on the NHL team, as opposed to the prospects beneath them. That hasn’t been the case much over the past few years, but with Chicago turning from a bottom-feeder into a potentially middle-of-the-pack team so far this...
Fed up with the Blackhawks’ inability to reach an agreement to broadcast CHSN locally? Can’t watch games on your TV? For the first night this season, fans will at least have the opportunity to see the Blackhawks in person. After a brutal road trip to open the year, Chicago is back at the United...
On Monday, I wrote about the fact that the Blackhawks may have finally found their power forward. New acquisition Pat Maroon has been everything Chicago has asked for and more, providing a physical side that this team has been missing in the past. But what if there was another power forward out...
Over the past few years, the Blackhawks have struggled in a lot of different areas. Offense. Defense. Goaltending. Many of those areas got better over the offseason, with several competent players in all three areas being signed in free agency or traded for. But one of the biggest improvements over...
The Blackhawks are in the win column! After Saturday’s big win in Edmonton, Chicago boasts a record of 1-1-1 after three road games against some of the better teams in the NHL. But at this point, not many would disagree that they’re playing much better than the record suggests. The Blackhawks have...
If there’s one thing Blackhawks head coach Luke Richardson did right in his team’s first game Tuesday night, it was switching up the lines until he found a combination that seemed to work. It was somewhat strange that Chicago didn’t test its opening night lines in preseason games, but the hope is...
When the Blackhawks hit the ice for the first time this season Tuesday night, all eyes were on Chicago’s new-look roster and how it would fare against the NHL’s newest franchise. But one player was missing from the lineup – 22-year-old forward Lukas Reichel. If GM Kyle Davidson’s comments Tuesday...
The Blackhawks play meaningful hockey tonight! After nearly six months of offseason and games that don’t count, Chicago will be back on the ice at 9 p.m. CDT in Utah for the Utah Hockey Club’s first ever game. They’ll put out a completely different lineup from what they had in April, with eight...
Throughout the Blackhawks’ preseason, members of the media relentlessly tried to predict Chicago’s opening night lineup. The most likely groupings seemed to emerge at the start of training camp, then the Blackhawks switched things up again and again. Chicago’s lineup finally appeared to be locked...
