The Hawks handed out another ass-kicking to the Blues on Wednesday night at the United Center in front of a national audience, winning 7-3 over their Central Division foes.
As the United Center faithful was in the middle of a âGreen Bay sucksâ chant (and there were a lot of them), Tyler Tucker put the Blues up 1-0 just 27 seconds into the game:

Now with three straight wins in their back pocket, the Hawks are at the United Center once again to host the St. Louis Blues on Wednesday night.
Many of the issues plaguing the Blues when these two teams met one month ago in St. Louis remain. They have the worst offense in the league (dead last at 2.49 goals per game) and arenât much better on defense (3.35 goals against per game, 27th in the league). The power play and penalty kill are ranked in the 20s along with their shot attempt shar...

Every now and then, I come across some headline or social media post that makes a grand statement regarding the quality of Kyle Davidsonâs work as Hawks GM and it always leaves me confused, because I donât know how anyone can make any definitive statement in either direction.
How can you properly judge an incomplete process? How can anyone decide if Davidson is building a successful NHL team or not when all he has are â at best â a few foundational pieces with minimal to no structure abov...

A Tyler Bertuzzi hat trick sparked the Hawks to their third straight win, this one a 3-2 overtime victory over the Golden Knights at the United Center on Sunday night.
On Saturday, it was Dylan Strome. On Sunday, Brandon Saad was the old friend scoring against the Hawks, winning a stick battle with Louis Crevier in front of the net to move this puck into the net near the middle of the first period for the first goal of the game:

Fresh off their second win in a row, the Blackhawks are back in action on Sunday night, hosting the Vegas Golden Knights at the United Center.
These two teams met in Vegas one month ago, with the Hawks unable to hold on to a late lead before ultimately losing 4-3 in the shootout . That win was part of a hot stretch for VGK, which won six of seven in late November and early December. But itâs been all downhill since, with the Knights losing seven of their last eight games, including a 4-3 ...

The Blackhawks kick off a pair of weekend games with a stop in the nationâs capital on Saturday night, as theyâre in DC to face the Washington Capitals.
The last time Chicago was in Washington for a game, it narrowly avoided becoming a part of league history, as Alex Ovechkin only tied Wayne Gretzkyâs career mark for goals scored during a 5-3 Capitals win . A season down the road, Ovechkin continues defying Father Time with 34 points (15 G, 19 A) in 41 games this season despite turning 40...

The Blackhawks picked up their second win over the Dallas Stars in less than a week, knocking off their Central Division foes 4-3 at the United Center on Thursday night.

For the second time in six days, the Blackhawks and Stars have a hockey date arranged, with Thursdayâs events shifting venues to the United Center.
Chicago won that prior meeting 4-3 with the aid of the shootout , with rookie Nick Lardis providing the winning tally during the final gimmick portion of the game to give the Hawksâ a much-needed pair of points, as that was one of Chicagoâs three victories in the month of December and only win in the last nine games.

The Chicago Blackhawks close out the 2025 calendar year on home ice Tuesday night, hosting the New York Islanders as they look to finish the year on a stronger note.
The Islanders come into this one sitting third in the Metropolitan Division by points percentage (.590), a spot that looks solid on paper but hardly comfortable in practice thanks to a crowded playoff picture. The Florida Panthers and Buffalo Sabres are right on their heels â the latter of which is on a nine-game winning stea...
