After recalling a handful of players to play in Saturday’s preseason contest in Milwaukee, the Blackhawks’ front office did some basic housekeeping, assigning forwards Frank Nazar, Colton Dach, Landon Slaggert, Samuel Savoie and Zach Sanford, defensemen Kevin Korchinski, Ethan Del Mastro and Louis...
The Blackhawks’ disastrous preseason is finally in the books. Chicago only won one game in which only prospects were playing, but expectations are still high with the regular season beginning on Tuesday. The Blackhawks aren’t exactly in Stanley Cup contention, but this revamped team with an influx...
On any NHL team, the most important factor for success is having a brick wall between the pipes. Goaltenders are often the headliners, and for good reason. The Blackhawks got a firsthand glimpse of that reality last season, with young netminder Arvid Soderblom being thrust into a role at the NHL...
The 2023-24 Blackhawks were never going to be in contention, but it could be argued that one of the biggest reasons last season went off the rails so quickly for Chicago was Taylor Hall’s battle with injuries. In just his eighth game of the year, Hall injured his right knee in a collision with...
At the start of camp, it felt as if the fate of Blackhawks defenseman Kevin Korchinski was entirely up to him. On one hand, the seventh-overall pick in 2022 already has a full season of NHL experience, and while his defensive wherewithal was lacking at times, he was far from the problem with...
For many NHL teams, the preseason is a chance to mix and match their personnel to see what works best. After all, it’s often a team’s first chance to see its new personnel in action, and certain tandems will have more chemistry than others. The Blackhawks’ training camp and preseason have been no...
The Blackhawks have a numbers problem, but it’s a great problem to have. The storyline throughout Chicago’s ongoing training camp has been the competition for a few spots on this season’s forward lines. There’s currently a pretty clear top-six group with Frank Nazar on the outside looking in....
The Blackhawks were finally back in action Wednesday night! And this time, I’m talking about the real Blackhawks, not just a group of prospects the team threw together. Chicago hosted its preseason opener at the United Center, marking an end to a summer that lasted far too long. With the first look...
Throughout this summer, the Blackhawks’ defensive unit was somewhat unpredictable, as no one knew how the newcomers would fit in with the somewhat limited existing talent on the roster. The blue line was an afterthought in general, with much of the focus of the media being on the completely...
The Blackhawks are finally back on the ice, and it’s officially the time of year where we overanalyze what we see early in training camp and project what certain groups might look like during the season. Chicago opened camp Thursday by jumping straight into a scrimmage, which is clearly the best...
The Blackhawks are officially back on the ice today! After months of front office activity with nothing but speculation about Chicago’s new-look roster, we should finally be able to get a sense for what this team could do in the upcoming season. It’s only training camp, but it’s safe to say hockey...
Last week, we discussed a concerning lack of information from the Blackhawks’ new TV home, Chicago Sports Network (CHSN). The news that fans would be getting a new way to watch the games was an exciting one, but with time ticking on the season opener, it quickly became nerve wracking, with those...
