With the Blackhawks motoring along at the bottom of the NHL standings and headed for another high pick in this summer’s draft, we’re rapidly approaching the point in the season where Chicago will be switching up its lineup to give other players a crack at the big club. As collegiate seasons wrap up...
While it hasn’t been as bad as last season, the Blackhawks have been hit with the injury bug as of late. With Laurent Brossoit and Connor Murphy already on IR, Chicago added Craig Smith to the list, placing the veteran forward on injured reserve with a back injury retroactive to January 8. Smith...
As the Blackhawks continue to get closer to fielding a competent NHL lineup, much of the focus of the front office and fans alike seems to be on the IceHogs and Chicago’s top AHL talents. That’s not misguided at all – players like Artyom Levshunov, Kevin Korchinski, Landon Slaggert, Ethan Del...
As the Blackhawks continue to stumble through the last half of the 2024-25 season, the attention of Chicago is beginning to turn toward this summer. The summer window is always an important one for rebuilding teams, but could be even more for the Blackhawks. Chicago has decisions to make on nine...
With interim head coach Anders Sorensen having navigated 21 games since taking over the Blackhawks, much of the buzz and “new coach boost” has worn off in Chicago. The on-ice product looks a bit different from what the Blackhawks displayed under former head coach Luke Richardson, with Sorensen’s...
As we discussed here on Friday, there’s no question that one of the most likely trade chips for the Blackhawks is defenseman Seth Jones. The veteran blueliner has been labeled by many as Stan Bowman’s “final parting gift” – he’s consistently the worst player on the ice and also the highest-paid, as...
Last week, we opened up the first trade deadline rumors around the Blackhawks despite the deadline being nearly two months away. Reports indicate that the busiest time for trades across the league could be in mid-February during the Four Nations Face-Off break, so GMs are already doing their...
The Blackhawks got rid of a defenseman in a trade! No, it wasn’t Seth Jones. With Chicago having more than enough talent in its pipeline on the defensive end, GM Kyle Davidson was looking to get rid of a blueliner before the trade deadline, and did just that by sending IceHogs LHD Isaak Phillips to...
Things couldn’t be going much worse for the Blackhawks in the NHL right now, as Chicago sits comfortably in last place in the entire league. But on the bright side, even the front office couldn’t care less. That’s because the Blackhawks’ strength clearly lies in the players who are still on their...
Connor Bedard’s league-leading nine-game point streak came to an end in Saturday’s loss to Edmonton, but the 19-year-old is still making history. Bedard passed Patrick Kane on Friday to record the second-most assists by a teenager in Blackhawks history in a game in Detroit where Kane was on the...
It’s not the first time the Blackhawks have seen him since he left, but with Chicago visiting the Red Wings Friday night, all eyes will be on Patrick Kane in another revenge game for No. 88. That meant Blackhawks reporters got a chance to talk to Kane about longtime teammate Jonathan Toews, meaning...
We’re still almost two months away from the NHL trade deadline on March 7, but this year’s window is already shaping up to be one of the busiest ever. The Eastern Conference is completely wide open, with just seven points separating the last-place Sabres from a wild-card spot. That’s great news for...
