It’s Friday night in Chicago and the Blackhawks are wearing black. Love to see it! The Washington Capitals are in town for a game between two teams that played just six days ago. When the two teams played last weekend, the Blackhawks didn’t have Connor Bedard in the lineup. That will NOT be the case tonight ! After the Bulls’ game was postponed because of humidity issues last night, there were some concerns about the ice surface. The folks at the United Center are some of the best at what...

The Blackhawks look to continue their unbeaten start to 2026 on Friday night at the United Center against the Washington Capitals. Let’s start with the home team this evening because there’s important news to share: Connor Bedard says he’s ready to go. — Scott Powers ( @scottpowers.bsky.social ) January 9, 2026 at 10:55 AM While Bedard is back — and he was practicing with the top power-play unit, as one would expect — several other players (along with coach Jeff Blashill) ...
On Thursday night, the 17-20 Chicago Bulls were looking to stave off a four-game losing skid with a home clash against the similarly semi-mediocre 20-17 Miami Heat. Instead, a two-hour delay due to melting ice beneath the hardwood eventually spiraled into a decision from the two teams and the NBA to postpone the action to another day altogether. It was a strange broadcast to behold (more on that later). But at least the undermanned Bulls, who would have been playing on the second nig...

The Long Island Nets returned to their home-away-from-home court on Thursday night for a showdown with the Wisconsin Herd.

In the 2023 season, the Edmonton Oilers did it on their first try. In 2024, it also occurred on their first attempt.

The Carolina Hurricanes are past the point of redemption with Jesperi Kotkaniemi and have not only been offering him up in trades, but are listening to trade offers for him according to Elliotte Freidman. While Kotkaniemi is only 25 years old, he came into the NHL a bit early and hasn't come close to living up to his third overall selection by the Montreal Canadiens . The Hurricanes wasted a first and a third-round pick to offer sheet him and have been stuck with his contract ever since. Kotka...
Boston wasn’t supposed to look like this. They weren’t supposed to be this good. With Jayson Tatum in and out of the lineup and all the summer departures, the Celtics entered the season with more questions than answers. Shot creation dipped, continuity vanished, and the margin for error shrank. Yet, night after night, Boston has […]

After storming out to a 3-1 lead in the 1st period against the Edmonton Oilers on Thursday, the Winnipeg Jets managed to fall apart over the next 2 frames to extend their losing streak to 11 games. With no time to search for answers to their inability to protect leads this year, the True Northers will be back in action on Friday night when the Los Angeles Kings come to town. The Jets ( 15-22-5 ) haven’t picked up 2 points in a game since December 13th, when they absolutely demolished the ...
The day has finally arrived, Blackhawks fans! Connor Bedard is expected to be back in the lineup! Bedard said he’s “good to go” after the morning skate on Friday, so he looks to draw back in the lineup when the Blackhawks host the Washington Capitals. Bedard has been out since injuring his shoulder at the end of the Blackhawks’ loss in St. Louis on Dec. 12.
