The Blackhawks are obviously off the ice for the next week due to the ongoing 4 Nations Face-Off, so it’s a great time to check in on how their non-NHL players are doing. After all, that’s what fans really care about – Chicago couldn’t care less about the majority of the current big-league roster....
As of Saturday, the Blackhawks are officially on break, with the team not returning to game action until Saturday, February 22 in Columbus. As we discussed last week, that lengthy break could spark several roster moves for Chicago. The team entered the break rostering six skaters who could be sent...
There are plenty of storylines to go around with the 2024-25 Blackhawks, from the failures of last summer’s veteran additions to the surprising success of Chicago’s pipeline, which has started to infuse itself with the NHL team itself in the form of skaters like Frank Nazar, Ethan Del Mastro and...
With 15 minutes left in the second period of Wednesday’s game, the Blackhawks and Oilers were in a scoreless tie when disaster struck. Trying to wrangle a loose puck, two-way center Jason Dickinson was hit sideways, then fell to the ice with his leg trapped underneath him. Dickinson was immediately...
With the Blackhawks getting three nights off in a row, the front office made a shrewd move this week, bringing up No. 2 overall pick and prized prospect Artyom Levshunov with the goal of getting him a few practices at the NHL level, getting a feel for the speed of the top level. Before Wednesday’s...
While the Blackhawks currently find themselves near the bottom of the NHL standings, the team has been a bit more exciting to watch lately. That’s because young players like Frank Nazar, Landon Slaggert, Colton Dach, Ethan Del Mastro and Nolan Allan have begun to flood the NHL lineup, finally...
As we discussed here last week, with the Blackhawks near the bottom of the NHL standings and nowhere near the playoffs with 30 games left to play, the time has come for Chicago to bring its top prospects to the NHL and get them some run while the stakes are low. No one in the pipeline is more...
Over the past few months, the Blackhawks’ everyday lineup has suddenly been flipped upside down. A team that started the season as one of the oldest in the entire NHL has flooded its roster with young skaters, making its lineup more fun to watch on a nightly basis. Frank Nazar, Landon Slaggert,...
The Blackhawks still have one game left in January when they visit the Hurricanes Thursday night, but at this point in the season, we’ve got a good idea of where every player on the team is in their overall play. The Blackhawks are still one of the worst teams in the NHL (but actually have one more...
It was an interesting weekend for the Blackhawks, who got rid of former Hart Trophy winner Taylor Hall in a blockbuster trade and still remain at a crossroads when it comes to their ongoing rebuild. While the team has to exercise patience and isn’t a contender yet, they can’t just continue to sit...
On Friday night, the Blackhawks raised some eyebrows when they got involved in a blockbuster trade that sent Mikko Rantanen to Carolina in exchange for Martin Necas. Chicago got rid of Taylor Hall, improving their position in this summer’s draft in the process. While a select few fans were...
Just before the puck dropped on Friday’s game against the Lightning, the Blackhawks announced that Seth Jones would be scratched due to illness and that Taylor Hall was scratched for undisclosed reasons. With almost zero warning or explanation, it was clear something was up. It certainly didn’t...
