Perhaps the best news of the season for Blackhawks fans came Saturday when it was announced that captain Jonathan Toews would be in the starting lineup for that night’s game against the Devils. The 34-year-old captain made his return to the United Center after missing the Blackhawks’ last 27 games,...
The Blackhawks found a bright spot in a “ruff” season after Friday’s practice. In an effort to raise awareness for adoptable puppies, the team brought 13 of them onto the ice at Fifth Third Arena for a meet-and-greet and “naming ceremony”. The puppies, which ranged from eight to 12 weeks old,...
The race is heating up down the stretch of this NHL regular season, with only seven or eight games left for pretty much every team. No, this race isn’t for a playoff spot, or for the first seed in their division. Quite the opposite, actually. This tight race is the “battle for Bedard”. Of course,...
The Blackhawks added to their list of future contracts Tuesday afternoon by signing 21-year-old Antti Saarela. Chicago’s rights to him were set to expire in June, so they decided to lock him down to a two-year deal that carries a yearly salary cap hit of $896,250....
Have Blackhawks fans seen the last of Philipp Kurashev? The 23-year-old center, who anchored the first line since the trade deadline, has officially been shut down for the season. Head coach Luke Richardson announced Tuesday morning that Kurashev wouldn’t be returning for any of Chicago’s remaining...
Captain Serious is in a race against the calendar. Head coach Luke Richardson confirmed on Sunday that Jonathan Toews resumed skating “on and off” while the Blackhawks were on a five-game road trip. He was also seen on the ice both Saturday and Sunday, which was when Richardson commented: "Today,...
On Saturday morning, the Blackhawks announced the newest member of their offensive pipeline: wing/center Paul Ludwinski. History The 18-year-old was selected by Chicago in the second round (39th overall) in the 2022 NHL Draft, using the Senators’ pick that was acquired as part of the Alex DeBrincat...
Has Ian Mitchell gotten his last chance in Chicago? After the night the defenseman had against the Avalanche on Monday, he may not get many more opportunities to prove himself. Mitchell got yet another chance against the Avs when he was reinserted into the lineup after being in and out of it since...
The Blackhawks’ season is down to 13 games remaining, and the team is officially eliminated from contention for the postseason. Most fans in Chicago don’t exactly bat an eye at the news, as the team has held the bottom spot in the Western Central Division for quite some time. In the midst of a...
It’s official: the 2022-23 Chicago Blackhawks will not be competing in the playoffs in April. A conclusion that every Blackhawks fan had accepted months ago was made official on Saturday when they lost 4-2 to the Arizona Coyotes and the Winnipeg Jets picked up an overtime win against the Predators....
In any other draft, Adam Fantilli would be a no-brainer as the first overall pick. It’s clear he has the dream skill set that every number-one pick possesses. Unfortunately for him, however, he wound up in the same entry class as Connor Bedard. Bedard, the consensus first-overall pick projection in...
Another living legend in Blackhawks history may soon be closing the book on his time in Chicago. Jonathan Toews, who will undoubtedly be inducted into the Hall of Fame someday, is “seriously considering” retirement, according to multiple sources. In a statement on February 19, he said he was...
