With the type of year the Blackhawks’ offense is having, just about every goal this season has come as a surprise. That’s why it wasn’t shocking when Chicago was nearly shut out once again by the Golden Knights Tuesday. The Blackhawks narrowly avoided hanging another donut on the board with less...
Last year, the Blackhawks went into the NHL Draft Lottery with the third-best odds at securing the No. 1 pick. Despite only having an 11.5 percent chance to do so, Chicago was able to jump both Anaheim and Columbus to get the chance to draft generational prospect Connor Bedard, and the rest is...
When the Blackhawks announced Saturday that they would be signing top prospect Frank Nazar, burning the first year of his entry-level contract for just three games, the move shocked just about everyone. While signing Nazar has a few benefits, like making his second contract less expensive down the...
Since taking over decision-making duties in 2021, Blackhawks general manager Kyle Davidson has made nothing but calculated decisions. His work to build a young team from the ground up hasn’t paid off just yet, but there’s enough talent in the prospect pool to make it an exciting time to be a...
Tasked with putting on an extraordinary performance to fight for NHL jobs Wednesday night, veteran defensemen Jarred Tinordi and Nikita Zaitsev did just the opposite. The pair of 32-year-olds found themselves on the wrong end of a number of embarrassing plays in the 5-2 loss, seemingly squandering...
For the Blackhawks to finish Wednesday’s game with the scoreboard showing a 5-2 loss was likely a divinely inspired miracle. By the time seven minutes had passed in the first period, Chicago was staring at a 4-0 deficit. In perhaps the worst possible start for the team, starting goaltender Petr...
Though the Blackhawks have endured plenty of news and revelations since the details of the Kyle Beach sexual assault case were released in 2021, much of the information around the case and cover-up has been hidden from the public. On Tuesday, however, former Blackhawks head coach Joel Quenneville...
Since general manager Kyle Davidson took over his current role in 2021, the pride of the Blackhawks has been the prospect pool. The NHL team itself hasn’t enjoyed much success due to a scorched-earth rebuild, but that same rebuild generated one of the best pipelines in the league. With the hockey...
With the Blackhawks far closer to the bottom of the NHL standings than to playoff contention, and the IceHogs having locked up an AHL playoff spot, Chicago sent defenseman Wyatt Kaiser down to Rockford Monday morning. In the fairly routine move, Kaiser isn’t being indicted for any poor performance...
On Saturday, I highlighted the outstanding recent performance of third-round pick Nick Lardis as a reason why he was the steal of the 2023 draft. By Wednesday afternoon, it became clear the Blackhawks’ front office shared the same opinion, as the sharp-shooting forward was signed to his entry-level...
Throughout this year, one word could be used to describe the Blackhawks: change. Chicago has had far more than its fair share of ups and downs over what has been a grueling season. From an exciting beginning of unknowns to a devastating slew of injuries and record-setting failures to the team’s...
The milestones just keep coming for rookie superstar Connor Bedard. Just before Tuesday night’s Blackhawks game against the Islanders, TSN’s Pierre LeBrun reported that Hockey Canada GM Rick Nash has reached out to Bedard and Anaheim’s Mason McTavish about being on the team. Nash is tasked with...
