Before the Blackhawks take on the Bruins on Saturday evening we saw one encouraging sign on the ice, but got some non-news that isn’t quite as exciting.
The encouraging news: Frank Nazar joined the team at the morning skate. I shot the video below of him taking some rushes with the boys. He was still in a non-contact jersey and wasn’t part of the lines; we didn’t expect him back yet. But head coach Jeff Blashill said he’ll fully practice with the team on Sunday.
Hey look at that! F...

The Chicago Blackhawks host the Boston Bruins on Saturday night, looking to reset their homestand after dropping three straight games at the United Center.
The Bruins have put together a decently strong season so far, sitting in a wild card spot with a .583 points percentage (27-19-2), which is no small feat considering they’re slogging through what is arguably the toughest division in hockey — one where every team is north of .500. They’ve been especially hot of late, going 7–2–1 in thei...

On Saturday night, the Chicago Blackhawks will put an exclamation point on the third “chapter” of their year-long Centennial celebration. The events focusing on “The Banner Years” before and during the game should stir up enough nostalgia for the most recent generation of Blackhawks fans to have their “I remember when” moments come flying out.
There were so many incredible moments during the Blackhawks’ dynasty run. But so many of them were authored — or co-authored — by guys who weren’t ...

The Chicago Blackhawks fell 3-1 to the Calgary Flames in a game on Thursday night that was effectively decided early, with all but one of the scoring coming before the midway point of the first period.
The Blackhawks struck first, opening the scoring just 2:44 into the game. Colton Dach worked the puck to Nick Foligno, who snapped a wrist shot past Devin Cooley to give Chicago an early 1-0 lead.

If you bet the over tonight, the first 3:14 of the game probably had you feeling pretty good. The Blackhawks grabbed an early lead, only to see Calgary answer with a power play goal 36 seconds later. Unfortunately, less than three minutes later the Flames scored another special teams goal — this time, a short-handed goal from their captain, Mikael Backlund. Calgary took a 2-1 lead to the room after 20 minutes.
The parade to the penalty boxes continued in the second period. After 40 minute...

The Blackhawks are (hopefully, knock on wood) over their illness situation and ready to skate a full, healthy game tonight against a Calgary Flames squad that comes in 7-16-2 on the road. They’re mentioned as sellers right now as frequently as the Blackhawks were the past few years. This is a good opportunity for the Hawks to pick up a game.

The Chicago Blackhawks host the Calgary Flames on Thursday night at the United Center, hoping to get back in the win column as the flu bug that’s ripped through the locker room appears to be winding down.
This season has largely gone sideways for the Flames, who enter the midpoint of the year sitting 30th in the league by points percentage (.457) and looking every bit like a team stuck in neutral. On paper, they look mostly average — the Flames own 51.01 percent of shot attempts (12th in ...

Earlier this week, Darren Dreger reported the now rebuilding Vancouver Canucks are now actually potentially listening to calls on center Elias Pettersson . The 27-year-old “star” is signed to a massive contract that carries an $11.6 million cap hit through the 2031-32 season.
He put up a career high 102 points during the 2022-23 season, but has seen his production go down in the subsequent seasons. He appeared in only 64 games and scored only 15 goals last year.
