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,...

The Chicago Blackhawks wrap up their two-game road trip against the Vegas Golden Knights on Saturday night. It’s going to be a late one — a 9 p.m. CT puck drop — but maybe the Hawks can build off of their two-game win streak?
That may be unlikely given that the Golden Knights have no issues steamrolling weaker teams. Vegas has, however, failed to find success in beating playoff-caliber opponents. Since November, Vegas has only won six games against teams in a playoff spot (as of this writ...

The Chicago Blackhawks collected another 3-2 overtime win over the Utah Mammoth on Thursday night, making it a series sweep — t he first time the Hawks have swept a division opponent since 2016-17 .
After a goalless first period, Dylan Guenther opened up scoring 5:47 into the second period. Andre Burakovsky made a brutal turnover at the offensive zone blueline, which led to a 2-on-1 with Logan Cooley carrying the puck and Guenther ready for the pass.

Didn’t we do this song and dance already? After the Utah Mammoth lost to the Blackhawks 3-2 in overtime on Monday night in Chicago, the Hawks visit Utah on Thursday night to close out the season series.
Unlike the Hawks, the Mammoth have played a different opponent since Monday night, as they were shut out 5-0 by the Minnesota Wild on the road on Tuesday night, which means Utah will probably be aggravated and looking to get a win at home against a beatable opponent in Chicago. The Mammoth...

The Chicago Blackhawks weren't that active during the trade deadline. Instead of moving off key pieces, they traded veterans like Nick Foligno (to the Minnesota Wild), Jason Dickinson (to the Edmonton Oilers), plus two prospects: Aidan Thompson and Colton Dach. However, when we turn to other players languishing in AHL Rockford, we notice that Kevin Korchinski is one prospect who had a cup of coffee in the NHL but hasn't been able to break through since. Korchinski has played...

Assigning patience the label of a virtue never seemed to make sense in the world of professional sports, because it seems to go against every instinct associated with the sport. We use the word “playmaker” in damn near every sport that exists and the literal translation of it has nothing to do with waiting around for something to happen: it’s about making it happen.
And that may be the hardest part of this whole rebuild/tanking/whatever we’re calling it that the Blackhawks have been doing...
Andrew Mangiapane’s time with the Edmonton Oilers was certainly one to forget, and it’s already clear that he’s happy to be in a new situation with the Chicago Blackhawks. Mangiapane made his debut with the Blackhawks on Friday, a 6-3 loss to the Vancouver Canucks, and even in a losing situation, he’s already got plenty…

The Chicago Blackhawks went to overtime for the third time in four games on Monday night. But this time, the Hawks ended the night with a victory: 3-2 over the Utah Mammoth.
Near the middle of the first period, Barrett Hayton opened up the scoring after the Blackhawks turned the puck over following a faceoff win. Hayton tipped in Nick DeSimone’s shot from the point.

The Chicago Blackhawks host the Utah Mammoth on Monday night as the two play for their second of three meetings in March.
The Blackhawks last played the Mammoth on March 1, which was also the last time the Hawks won a game ( a 4-0 shutout win for Arvid Soderblom ). Utah made a large splash ahead of the trade deadline by trading for defenseman MacKenzie Weegar, sending Olli Maatta, forward prospect Jonathan Castagna, and three second-round picks in the 2026 draft to the Calgary Flames in r...

The Chicago Blackhawks forced overtime with their first 6-on-5 goal of the season, but the comeback ultimately fell short as they lost 4-3 when the Dallas Stars scored just 22 seconds into the extra frame.
The Blackhawks got the scoring going with two goals in the first half of the opening frame. First, at 6:59, Tyler Bertuzzi redirected Artyom Levshunov’s shot for a tip-in goal, putting the Blackhawks up 1-0.

The Chicago Blackhawks are in Dallas on Sunday night to take on the Stars for the third and final time this season.
Not much has changed for the Stars in the standings since the Blackhawks last saw them on Jan. 1: they remain second in the Central Division behind the Colorado Avalanche, with the Minnesota Wild still lurking close behind. Where things have changed is under the hood. Dallas has improved noticeably in its shot metrics over the past two months, moving from 31st to 26th in sho...
At the 2026 NHL Trade Deadline, the Edmonton Oilers acquired exactly three players, and they all came from one team. First, on March 3, they picked up defenceman Connor Murphy from the Chicago Blackhawks for a second‑round pick. One day later, they circled back to Chicago to acquire forwards Jason Dickinson and Colton Dach in…
Pencils down, general managers. The teams you have now assembled will be the ones you’re married to for the rest of the season.

The Edmonton Oilers have been searching for answers to their leaky defence all season. Stan Bowman believes he may have found them, making a pair of deals with the Chicago Blackhawks this week that brought in Jason Dickinson, Connor Murphy, and Colton Dach. Both Murphy and Dickinson are proven defensive stalwarts, while the 23-year-old Dach…
