No Requiem for the Wicked: Blackhawks vs. Predators Preview

Following a loss on Friday night, the Chicago Blackhawks host the Nashville Predators on Sunday afternoon — a team that was supposed to be at the bottom of the standings, but has snuck their way back into the playoff conversation. The Predators are currently in the second wild card spot with 73 points. That’s right: even though Nashville was supposed to be hanging out in the basement of the league alongside the Blackhawks, they’ve won three straight, have a 5-4-1 record in their last 10 g...

6th Avenue Heartache: Avalanche 4, Blackhawks 1

The Chicago Blackhawks fell 4-1 to the Colorado Avalanche at the United Center on Friday, a loss that also saw Colorado become the first team in the NHL to clinch a playoff berth this season. The Avalanche opened the scoring 13:19 into the first. Martin Necas received a backhand pass from Nathan MacKinnon in the circle and snapped a shot that bounced off Arvid Soderblom and into the back of the net, putting the Avalanche up 1-0. What a play from Nichushkin to find Necas 😮‍💨 pic.twitt...

After falling 2-1 to the Dallas Stars in a shootout at home on Wednesday, the Colorado Avalanche kicked off a four-game road trip against the Chicago Blackhawks.

Us Against the World: Blackhawks vs. Avalanche Preview

The Beautiful Ones: Blackhawks 2, Wild 1

For the first time in far, far too long, the Blackhawks recorded a regulation victory against the Minnesota Wild, winning 2-1 over their divisional rivals on Thursday night in St. Paul. With about 3:30 left in the first, Chicago opened the scoring when Andrew Mangiapane set up Ilya Mikheyev up at the back door for an easy tap-in goal: GOAL: Andrew Mangiapane finds Ilya Mikheyev backdoor for his 13th goal of the season. pic.twitter.com/ELIo5pkBjx — BHF (@BlackhawksFocus) March 2...

Let’s Go Crazy: Blackhawks at Wild Preview

The Blackhawks and Wild renew acquaintances on Thursday night in the Twin Cities, just about 48 hours after the Wild beat the Hawks 4-3 in overtime on Tuesday night at the United Center, which has been the outcome of every meeting between these two Central Division foes this season. There’s nothing new to report on either team, so no need for a lengthy preamble here. The win on Tuesday means that it’s now a 19-game unbeaten streak for Minnesota (18-0-1) against Chicago, a streak that’s ju...

How are the players the Oilers traded away this season doing on their new teams?

The 2026 trade deadline has come and gone. In total, the Edmonton Oilers traded three roster players in two separate trades. They acquired Colton Dach and Jason Dickinson from the Chicago Blackhawks, sending a 2027 top-12-protected first and Andrew Mangiapane in return. In December, the Oilers also thought they solved their goaltending situation, acquiring Tristan…

The Blackhawks Week That Was and Will Be, 3/18: Tearin’ It Up

Feels like we’re past the total teardown portion of this whole rebuild the Hawks have been embarking upon for several seasons now, so let’s take a moment to see what an NHL team can obtain by spending a few seasons selling off anything of value at multiple trade deadlines, which should give us a better sense of what Chicago added by heading down this path. If we pinpoint the start of this process as beginning during the 2021-22 season, keep in mind that the team that was sold off for parts fin...

Thank Goodness the Wild Won Last Night

That's Wild The Minnesota Wild were able to have a well-earned 4-3 overtime win over the Chicago Blackhawks (even if the score shouldn't have been that close) and after losing their previous three games to non-playoff teams, that was so desperately needed. Even if the puck bounced one single ot...

Bliss Out: Wild 4, Blackhawks 3 (OT)

A late Chicago goal forced overtime on Tuesday night at the United Center before Minnesota scored during the extra session for its third 4-3 OT win over the Blackhawks this season. An old friend opened the scoring, with Ryan Hartman finding a soft spot in the low slot for this relatively easy goal that made it a 1-0 Wild game about six minutes into the first period: Ryan Hartman opens the scoring. pic.twitter.com/TTv60bDr7N — BHF (@BlackhawksFocus) March 17, 2026 About 90 ...

Blackhawks' Face Troubling Decision With Veteran Blueliner

  The Chicago Blackhawks are ushering in a new-era of hockey with Connor Bedard leading the way. Slowly, but surely, the Blackhawks continue to trade veteran talent, and their last move saw former Captain Nick Foligno dealt to the Minnesota Wild, a chance to play postseason hockey for a job well done.  Now, the Blackhawks have another tough decision to make with pending unrestricted free agent Matt Grzelcyk.  Signed as a free agent  in July to a one-year, $1 million average...

But Does It Work? Blackhawks vs. Wild Preview

Back home and following pair of days off, the Blackhawks host the Minnesota Wild on St. Patrick’s Day for a national broadcast on TNT, the first of consecutive meetings between the two divisional foes. The Wild are largely in cruise control for the rest of the regular season, as they’re pretty solidly locked into the No. 3 spot in the Central Division, almost guaranteed to be facing the Dallas Stars in the first round of the playoffs. Minnesota is six points behind Dallas’ 94 and the Star...

Wild In Must-Win Game Against Blackhawks

That's Wild The Minnesota Wild are in a slump and it's not just the fact that they have lost three straight games, but it's who they have lost those games against. After their dominant 5-0 win over the Mammoth, it has now been three straight losses against non-playoff teams -- and fairly bad...

3 Chicago Blackhawks Not Expected Back Next Season

The Chicago Blackhawks once again weren't able to live up to expectations, as they've seem to all but waste another prime season for Connor Bedard. Yes, injuries didn't help at all this season, and it wasn't all related to one element of their team why they didn't have success, but as we saw before the trade deadline, changes were needed, and more are expected heading into next season. Look for GM Kyle Davidson to move on from certain free agents, while also being involved in the trade market,...
