Through the first third of the Blackhawks’ season, the team has been particularly affected by a slew of injuries. Philipp Kurashev and Colin Blackwell both missed the start of the season. Jarred Tinordi has been in and out of the lineup and is currently out with a concussion. Andreas Athanasiou...
In their first waiver transaction of the 2023-24 season (aside from Corey Perry), the Blackhawks placed forward Boris Katchouk on waivers Monday. The move comes with a pair of Blackhawks expected to be activated off IR in the coming days or weeks. Top-six forward Andreas Athanasiou, who left the...
Before this season began for the Blackhawks, the expectation from just about everyone was that Chicago would struggle between the pipes. The combination of veteran Petr Mrazek and Arvid Soderblom wasn’t expected to be a highlight of the young team trying to find itself. Now one-third of the way...
Now 25 games into what has been a long season already for the Blackhawks, there haven’t been too many bright spots to speak of in Chicago. Rookie Connor Bedard has been everything the team could ask for and more, as his 20 points lead the 8-16-1 Blackhawks by a long shot. Aside from his production,...
In one of the biggest weeks of the year for NHL leadership, the league’s Board of Governors met Monday and Tuesday this week for their biannual meeting. This year’s convergence was held in Seattle, the home of the NHL’s newest franchise and next Winter Classic site. The Board of Governors meetings,...
After facing significant expectations following a great end to last season, Blackhawks forward Lukas Reichel’s year has begun almost as badly as possible. The 21-year-old has just two goals and four assists more than a quarter of the way through the season. He started the year at center, which...
The spotlight of the hockey world has been on Connor Bedard since he was 13 years old. The proclaimed “future of hockey” had one of the greatest junior hockey careers of all time with the WHL’s Regina Pats before being selected first overall by the Blackhawks, a pick that was the result of one of...
When the Blackhawks began the season, most of the conversation among fans that wasn’t focused on rookie sensation Connor Bedard was centered around fellow youngster Lukas Reichel. Nearly everyone expected the 21-year-old forward to take a huge jump forward this year, myself included. For a...
Before the young Blackhawks began the 2023-24 season, the expectation by many was that the defensive unit would be among the worst in the league. With a blatant lack of experience throughout the three lines, and not much star power to speak of, GM Kyle Davidson and his staff elected to address the...
Although the Blackhawks are just a month and a half into a season of unknowns, the turn of the calendar to December feels like the “dog days” of the year for many Chicago fans. The team found itself at 3-6 at the end of October but had endured perhaps the toughest opening schedule in league...
On Tuesday morning, the Blackhawks announced that veteran forward Corey Perry’s contract would be terminated after he participated in “unacceptable” conduct. After an emotional press conference at 4 p.m. CST, GM Kyle Davidson wasted no time in filling Perry’s place among the forward ranks. Just...
Just before last Wednesday’s game in Columbus, newly acquired veteran Corey Perry was a late, healthy scratch. Perry had been one of the team’s top scorers up until that point, so it was initially a surprising move that head coach Luke Richardson labeled an “organizational decision.” Last Saturday,...
