Latest news and updates about the Blackhawks
On April 5th in 2011, Chicago Blackhawks benched backup goaltender Marty Turco allegedly wagered with a Montreal Canadiens season ticket holder named Robert during a match at the Bell Center after a second period goal by forward Michael Cammalleri put Montreal ahead 1-0. According to Robert's retelling on the sports radio station Team 990, the bet began with a friendly $5 wager that Chicago
On March 31st in 2013, Detroit Red Wings defenseman Jakub Kindl directed the puck from his skate to stick before errantly backhanding it over Jimmy Howard's left pad, thanks to a timely slash by Chicago Blackhawks forward Jimmy Hayes, giving Chicago it's third goal in 99 seconds and a 3-0 lead less than five minutes to play. Kindl's own goal, credited to Dave Bolland, came on an
Chicago lost yet again on Saturday at the United Center, falling 5-3 to the St. Louis Blues. St. Louis struck first midway through the opening period. The Blackhawks weren’t able to get the puck out and, after some cycling, Jimmy Snuggerud got to the net to tip in Tyler Tucker’s shot. Not sure there's a more perfect tip than that. #stlblues pic.twitter.com/dS3bAXIjGI — St. Louis Blues (@StLouisBlues) April 11, 2026 The Blackhawks evened the score 1-1 about five minutes lat...

The Blackhawks continue their season-ending homestand on Saturday afternoon at the United Center against the St. Louis Blues. Since the turn of the new year, the Blues have played better than their first-half disaster suggested, but not nearly well enough to make the turnaround complete and qualify for the playoffs. They tightened up defensively, got steadier goaltending, and generally looked more competent after the new year, including putting together mostly break-even shot metrics like...
The Chicago Blackhawks will once again finish this season at the bottom of the Central Division standings. It is not surprising, as the Blackhawks are still rebuilding and focused on the future. With this, it would not necessarily be surprising if they move some players during the offseason. Because of this, let's look at three Blackhawks trade candidates for the offseason. Tyler Bertuzzi Bertuzzi has had a strong second season with the Blackhawks, as he has a career-high 32 goals ...

The New Jersey Devils have had a very disappointing 2025-26 season. Due to this, there is a chance that they could look to shake up their roster this offseason because of it. One Devils forward who is standing out as a potential trade candidate heading into the offseason is Timo Meier. The 29-year-old winger has simply not been a good fit in New Jersey, so let's look at three teams that could target him this offseason. Chicago Blackhawks The Blackhawks could be a team to watch this...
The Chicago Blackhawks fell 7-2 to the Carolina Hurricanes on Thursday night at the United Center in a game that unraveled almost immediately. The Hurricanes went up 1-0 just 19 seconds into the game. Nikolaj Ehlers set up Sean Walker, who ripped a wrist shot past Spencer Knight before the Blackhawks had a chance to settle in. Walker opens the scoring: pic.twitter.com/TxRpb9U0Zb — BHF (@BlackhawksFocus) April 10, 2026 The Blackhawks responded around the midway point of the...
The Carolina Hurricanes beat the Chicago Blackhawks, 7-2, on Thursday night to inch closer to locking up the top seed in the Eastern Conference. After clinching the division on Tuesday and calling up four players from the Chicago Wolves, the Hurricanes ruled out many regular faces including Seth Jarvis, Sebastian Aho, Andrei Svechnikov and Jaccob […]

The Chicago Blackhawks wrap up the season with a four-game homestand, starting Thursday night against the Carolina Hurricanes. It’s been a little over two months since the Blackhawks last saw the Hurricanes, and not much has changed for the team from Carolina. The Hurricanes are perched atop the Metropolitan Division, having locked up the top divisional seed by sitting 10 points clear of the second-place Pittsburgh Penguins. Only the Colorado Avalanche have put together a better overall s...
The Carolina Hurricanes (50-22-6) are on the road tonight to take on the Chicago Blackhawks (28-36-14) at 8:30 PM, two days after clinching the Metropolitan Division. A 6-5 win over the Boston Bruins on Tuesday allowed the Canes to clinch the division with four games left to go, as the playoffs inch closer. If the […]

As more and more prospects have arrived at the NHL level over the last few seasons while more and more losses have piled up alongside them, there’s been a thought lurking in the back of my mind that was summarized fairly well in this comment from SCH user Spknight appreciation association in the recap from last Thursday’s loss to the Oilers : You have to wonder a bit what all this losing is doing to the young core’s culture. All the old leadership that left had at least some idea of wha...

Chicago’s final road game of the 2025-26 season ended with a defeat, this one a 3-2 loss to the San Jose Sharks. The Hawks scored first just a power play expired about nine minutes into the game, when some nifty puck movement resulted in a one-timer for Frank Nazar, with the resultant rebound leading to an easy tap-in for Ryan Donato: GOAL: Ryan Donato buries a rebound as the power play expires to open the scoring. pic.twitter.com/69k4nTzlKh — BHF (@BlackhawksFocus) April 7, 20...

The San Jose Sharks host the Chicago Blackhawks tonight and the Sharks most definitely need a win against a team that’s out of the playoff race, especially if the Sharks want to stay in the race. As of this afternoon, the Sharks are two points out of a playoff spot but have a game in hand. Screenshot In other words, the team has a shot, but the margins are getting thinner every day and winning is starting to get more and more important. The Blackhawks would love to play spoiler,...
The words “last” and “final” continue popping up in descriptions of Blackhawks games, as Chicago wraps up the road portion of its 2025-26 season on Monday night in San Jose against the Sharks. A quick glance at the standings suggests that San Jose is the superior team, as a win in this game would insert the Sharks into a three-way tie for the second wild card spot with Nashville and Los Angeles, which already have 81 points in 76 games and San Jose at 79 in 75. But the minus-36 goal diffe...

The Blackhawks snapped a five-game losing streak on Saturday night with a 4-2 win over a struggling Seattle Kraken team. Neither team scored in the first, but it took Teuvo Teravainen to score on an otherwise sloppy power play 9:15 into the second period.
