Common Cold: Blackhawks at Wild Preview

The Hawks are up north this evening for a Central Division matchup against the Minnesota Wild. Minnesota’s been one of the league’s biggest surprises through the first half-ish of the season, sitting fifth in the league standings with 68 points in 53 games (29-14-10). The Wild surged in late 2025 with seven-game winning streaks in both November and December that would’ve sent them to the top of the division were it not for the absurd pace being maintained by the league-leading Avalanche. ...

Blackhawks at Wild — Lineups, Broadcast Info, Game Thread

After a less-than-ideal performance on Sunday evening on home ice, the Blackhawks get a quick two-game trip that starts with their first look at Quinn Hughes on the Minnesota Wild. The Wild come in only 4-4-2 in their last 10 games and locked into a heated battle with Dallas for home ice in the Central Division’s 2-3 matchup in the first round of the playoffs. The Blackhawks threw their lines in a blender on Monday, so tonight will be an experiment with the healthiest roster they’ve had i...

Teuvo’s Back, Bedard’s New Line, Mikheyev’s Value, Soucy Traded, and Other Blackhawks Bullets

The Blackhawks are in Minnesota tonight, and we saw them roll out a new look lineup on Monday at practice before boarding a plane north. I wrote my thoughts on the lineup yesterday, but wanted to circle back to a comment from Blackhawks head coach Jeff Blashill that I cited in my bullets yesterday regarding Connor Bedard : “Maybe that’s hurt him, not having consistency there,” Blashill said on Sunday night. “Sometimes you’re trying to help spark guys and you end up hurting them by makin...

Blackhawks Assign Nick Lardis To Rockford

We’ve talked about the Blackhawks’ looming roster decisions here over the past few weeks as the team gets more healthy. One of those decisions came before the team flew to Minnesota on Monday. The Blackhawks assigned forward Nick Lardis to the Rockford IceHogs. Lardis was on the fifth line at the practice on Monday, indicating he wasn’t in the rotation for Tuesday night’s game. Lardis was named an AHL All-Star. Being assigned back to the IceHogs means he can participate in that ...

The NHL Trade Market is Setting Up Nicely for the Blackhawks

The Chicago Blackhawks are in an interesting position right now. The wake up on Monday morning only five points out of a wild card spot in the Western Conference — close enough that there will be potentially important games down the stretch. But, at the same time, the Blackhawks are also beginning their ascent out of their scorched earth rebuild. Young players are beginning to take over their lineup and lead the team. They’re relying heavily on young players to run the power play and kill...

Let’s talk about Connor Bedard , shall we? It seems like that’s becoming an increasingly hot topic around the Blackhawks in recent days. Bedard has one goal (into an empty net) since he came back from his shoulder injury. He isn’t taking faceoffs. And his named found its way into the headlines for both postgames from Scott Powers ( The Athletic ) and Ben Pope ( Chicago Sun-Times ).

Found Elvis in a Loaf of Bread: Blackhawks vs. Panthers Preview

The Chicago Blackhawks host the defending Stanley Cup champion Florida Panthers on Sunday night at the United Center. The Panthers season has been a bit of a roller coaster: a sluggish start out of the gate put them behind the curve early, they stabilized into something resembling a competent team for a stretch, then dipped again into inconsistency before finally showing some signs of life recently. After going 6-4-0 in their last 10 games and riding a modest two-game win streak — includi...

Blackhawks vs Panthers — Lineups, Broadcast Info, Game Thread

The Blackhawks played a back-to-back in Carolina and at home against Tampa on Thursday-Friday nights and came away with three of four possible points. They got great goaltending in both games, and the defense held up against the two top teams in the Eastern Conference. So, after one day off, the Blackhawks host the two-time defending champion Florida Panthers today. Well… what’s left of them. And they’ll be playing the second half of their own back-to-back; the Panthers needed overtime to...

Hard to Handle, James’ Revenge, Rookie Impact, Scouting Chicago, and Other Blackhawks Bullets

Ryan Greene dusted off his best Chris Robinson impression last night after scoring the Blackhawks’ only goal before the skills competition decided a 2-1 loss to the Lightning. “I think we’re a tough team to handle, and we’re just trying to keep that going moving forward.” He’s right — to an extent. What we’ve seen at time this season is the Blackhawks can be a really hard to to play against. They’re fast. They’re smart. And they’re developing chemistry. But they’re also still you...

NHL Mock Draft Season Has Arrived! (Let’s Talk About Projected Blackhawks Picks)

As we inch closer to the end of January, the excitement builds for NHL players to return to the Olympics. But, for fans of teams that don’t have any/many players headed to Italy for the Games, it’s also a fun time to start talking about two other subjects: the trade deadline, and breaking down mock drafts. I’ve been writing mock drafts throughout the season ( my most recent ), so don’t worry about my specific picks. We’ll have a fresh on in the coming days (and more during the Olympic bre...
