Today presents the biggest early test to date for the young Blackhawks’ building process. The Blackhawks were playing well, but collapsed in the third period on Thursday night and never got off the bus on Friday in Buffalo. Two deflating losses in which they were exhausted, undermanned and, on Friday, not competitive for most of the night. How the Blackhawks bounce back from their last four periods will be telling. This is where the veteran teams of the past couple years would struggle to righ...

When the Blackhawks announced they were bringing back the black jerseys last week, most Blackhawks were ecstatic. The team’s online store broke its single-day sales record in the first hour the jerseys were available, and some sizes were sold out seemingly immediately.
But there are some out there who aren’t in love with the black sweaters. Some will point out that there are too many black jerseys in the NHL. Others will remind us that the Blackhawks weren’t especially good during the era...

The Chicago Blackhawks fell 9–3 to the Buffalo Sabres Friday night in what was easily the worst loss of the season. Honestly, just pretend your TV accidentally shut off and never think about this again.
The Sabres opened the scoring at 13:57 of the first. Tage Thompson sent a slick pass to a wide open Josh Doan in front and he tucked it through the backdoor on his second attempt to make it 1-0 Sabres.

The Blackhawks hopped on a plane after losing to the Kraken last night and headed to Buffalo, where they’ll play the one road game in a stretch of eight of nine at the United Center. The Sabres will be waiting for them with hopes of getting right; they’re 2-5-1 in their last eight games and gave up six goals to the Flames on Wednesday night (yikes!).
The second half of a back-to-back with travel in the middle is always tough. With André Burakovsky not available, and the Blackhawks not hav...

A fortuitous back-to-back arrives on the schedule for the Hawks this week, giving the team a chance to quickly dispense of the unpleasantries from Thursday night when it ventures to Buffalo to face the Sabres on Friday.
Buffalo hasn’t been to the playoffs since 2011 and doesn’t appear any closer to bucking that trend this season because it currently sits 29th in the league standings roughly one-quarter of the way through this season. The Sabres don’t do much of anything well: they’re 24th...

The Chicago Blackhawks fell 3–2 to the Seattle Kraken on Thursday night, coughing up a two-goal lead by allowing three unanswered goals in a rough third period.
After a scoreless first period, the Blackhawks opened the scoring 43 seconds into the second. Tyler Bertuzzi cashed in on a slick tic-tac-toe setup from Frank Nazar and Teuvo Teravainen, putting the Hawks up 1-0.

The Blackhawks continue their home-heavy portion of their schedule in the back half of November on Thursday night, hosting the Seattle Kraken at the United Center.
These two teams met a few weeks ago in the Pacific Northwest during a Hawks’ road trip, with the Kraken taking a 3-1 victory in a game that saw the Hawks turn in a decent performance despite that unfortunate result. Chicago seemed to have the better of the scoring opportunities in that game, but Seattle always seemed to have a ...

The Blackhawks and Kraken are two of the teams surprising people early this season. They played 17 days ago in Seattle, a 3-1 win for the home team. The Hawks have been hot since then and will be on their home ice in the rematch.
Tyler Bertuzzi is expected to return to the lineup tonight, which is great news. The Hawks are going to keep Ryan Greene on the top line, however. Bertuzzi will be on a line with Frank Nazar and Oliver Moore tonight.
Let’s see if the Blackhawks can keep the ...

The Blackhawks lost a tough game to a very good Devils team on Wednesday night. It was easy to employ one big excuse for the loss: the Blackhawks were without three key forwards in the game.
There was good news from the Blackhawks’ practice on Friday, even if it was only briefly positive. Frank Nazar, Jason Dickinson and André Burakovsky were on the ice for practice on Friday. Tyler Bertuzzi was not.
Initially, having three important forwards back with the group was encouraging. But ...

I know it’s been several days since it happened, but my mind still keeps venturing back to how delightful it was to spend a Sunday afternoon watching a couple of young stars do the things that Connor Bedard and Caleb Williams did last weekend. It wasn’t long after the final horn sounded on yet another multi-point performance from No. 98 that Williams reeled off a pair of late touchdowns to secure yet another Bears victory.
It’s easy to draw comparisons between the two, even if their sport...

The process is far from perfect in Chicago through the first month of play. The team is still allowing a high rate of shots and chances, even with the shift from zone defense to a hybrid system. The difference now, c...
