The World Junior Championship tournament got started on Friday in Minnesota. Blackhawks prospect Anton Frondell and Sweden were on the ice in the first game in the entire tournament, and they skated away with an impressive 3-2 win over a gritty Slovakian squad.
Frondell scored the first goal of the entire tournament in the middle of the second period.

I thought we were done with this.
Sitting down on the couch on any given evening of Blackhawks hockey, taking in the first few minutes of the game with those little twinkles of optimism that something good might happen during the next two or three hours and then having the realization — or, perhaps the reminder — settle in that this is Blackhawks lineup is simply not as good as the one on the opposite bench and that it’s going to take some rather special circumstances for the game to rema...

There won’t be much to talk about from the Pittsburgh Penguins until later this weekend when their season resumes following the NHL Christmas break. The entire league is on hiatus until Saturday, but the Penguins will enjoy an extra day off before returning to action on Sunday against the Chicago Blackhawks in the Windy City. […]

I have no doubt there’s a lot of chirping happening in the Blackhawks’ room and group chat with the World Junior Championship beginning later this week. As a reminder, the following players currently on the Blackhawks’ roster have won gold at the World Juniors: Connor Bedard (Canada), Oliver Moore (USA), Frank Nazar (USA), Connor Murphy (USA), Spencer Knight (USA), Ethan Del Mastro (Canada), Colton Dach (Canada) and Teuvo Teräväinen (Finland).
If we want to add Rockford, the list grows to...

We have reached the NHL’s Christmas break, Blackhawks fans. And… things aren’t great right now. The Blackhawks have sunk to dead last in the NHL standings . The break comes at a good time for the Blackhawks, who have lost their last six in a row and eight of their last ten. After the game last night, André Burakovsky looked like a frustrated man who needs a break. And I’m sure he’s not alone in that regard.
It’s not great. They can be a tough watch if you’re just looking for lots of goals...

The Chicago Blackhawks added another lump of coal to the stocking on Tuesday night, losing their sixth straight game in a 4–1 defeat to the Philadelphia Flyers on Christmas Eve Eve.
The Flyers opened the scoring midway through the first period. Travis Konecny was set up in the left faceoff circle by a slick feed from Trevor Zegras and snapped it home from in close to make it 1–0.

In the final game before the Christmas break and in a second half of a back-to-back, the Flyers went into Chicago and came away with a wire-to-wire 3-1 victory over the Blackhawks. At the tail end of a brutal condensed schedule where the Flyers played 10 games in 17 days, the Flyers now head into the holiday break with the second highest points percentage in the East.

The first period of this game was a dump and chase drill. The teams combined to put ten shots on net (6-4 in favor of the Flyers). Philly’s second shot didn’t happen until 10:17 had come off the clock. Unfortunately, it went in. The Blackhawks had a 7-3 advantage in scoring chances in the first period at 5-on-5 , but were chasing one after one.
The Blackhawks and Flyers really made it feel like both teams have three days off after this game in the second period… until the Flyers amazingly...

It’s almost break time, folks! The Flyers are closing out their slate of action before the holidays with a quick trip out to Chicago to face off against the Blackhawks. They’re coming off of a huge win over the Canucks last night in their final home game of the year, but the next challenge is still ahead of them: keeping that momentum rolling.

The Chicago Blackhawks limp into Tuesday’s final matchup before the holiday break with the Philadelphia Flyers carrying a growing losing streak and an injury list that’s starting to look uncomfortably bleak.
The Flyers arrive in Chicago as one of the league’s quietest success stories, having picked up at least a point in 18 of their last 23 games while going 12-5-6 over that stretch. That run has vaulted them all the way to second in the Metropolitan Division and in the Eastern Conference...

The Blackhawks are hurting right now — literally and figuratively. They’re 2-7-1 in their last 10 games and have lost their last five in a row. And they’ll start tonight’s game without Connor Bedard or Frank Nazar available; Nazar left the game in Ottawa and will miss the next four weeks. So much for a merry Christmas, eh?
Unfortunately, the Blackhawks will not get their captain, Nick Foligno , back in the lineup tonight against a Flyers team that hosted (and beat) the Canucks last night ...

The Blackhawks were off yesterday, things are bad here, and the Blackhawks don’t play again until tomorrow. So I want to start our Monday with some respect for an all-time great making history on Sunday. Sidney Crosby had two points on Sunday. The second, an assist on a power-play goal by Rickard Rakell at 12:40 of the first period, gave him 1,724 points (645 goals, 1,079 assists).
That’s one point more than Mario Lemieux, and now the most points in Pittsburgh Penguins history.

The Chicago Blackhawks can't catch a break at the moment as their roster is in shambles due to freak accidents. First Connor Bedard separated his shoulder on a faceoff with less than a second left in the game, and now Frank Nazar is going to be out a month after getting hit in the face with the puck. The play happened during Saturday's 6-4 loss to the Ottawa Senators. Nazar was struck with a Jordan Spence shot barely five minutes into the game. He went immediately to the dressing room and did ...
