The Chicago Blackhawks snapped a five-game losing streak with a 6-3 win over the San Jose Sharks at the United Center on Monday.
The Blackhawks struck first on the power play seven minutes into the opening period. From the slot, Teuvo Teravainen found Connor Bedard, who ripped a sharp-angle one-timer from the bottom of the left faceoff circle to put the Blackhawks up 1-0.

The Chicago Blackhawks host the San Jose Sharks on Monday night for their final home game before the Olympic break.
The Sharks are currently sitting just three points outside a playoff position with two games in hand, which on the surface, looks like a massive step forward from last season, when they finished dead last in the NHL. Dig a little deeper, though, and the underlying numbers suggest the progress isn’t quite as dramatic as the standings imply. San Jose still ranks last in the le...

Better still wasn’t good enough for the Blackhawks on Friday night at the United Center, as they suffered their fifth straight defeat in a 4-2 loss to the Columbus Blue Jackets.
The first 19 minutes of the opening period did not have a goal, then the final minute had two of them. First, Charlie Coyle scored to give CBJ a brief 1-0 lead:

The Blackhawks need a bounce-back performance in the worst way following Thursday’s debacle in Pittsburgh, and they’ll have an opportunity for that just over 24 hours later at home against the Columbus Blue Jackets.
But that rebound will not come easy against a Columbus team that is one of the league’s hottest sides at the moment, winners in seven of eight. That stretch hasn’t quite pulled CBJ into playoff contention just yet, though, as it’s now up to 57 points in 52 games (25-20-7) but ...

The Chicago Blackhawks are in Pittsburgh on Thursday night to take on a red-hot Penguins team.
The Pittsburgh Penguins have put together an impressive season to this point, currently sitting second in the Metropolitan Division with a .618 points percentage. They’ve also been one of the league’s hottest teams of late, going 6-2-2 in their last 10 games, riding a four-game winning streak, and collecting points in seven straight. The underlying numbers don’t quite land in elite territory, bu...

The Hawks are up north this evening for a Central Division matchup against the Minnesota Wild.
Minnesota’s been one of the league’s biggest surprises through the first half-ish of the season, sitting fifth in the league standings with 68 points in 53 games (29-14-10). The Wild surged in late 2025 with seven-game winning streaks in both November and December that would’ve sent them to the top of the division were it not for the absurd pace being maintained by the league-leading Avalanche. ...

The Chicago Blackhawks saw their point streak snap Sunday night, unceremoniously falling 5–1 to the Florida Panthers at the United Center.
After a scoreless first period, the Panthers opened the scoring 15:33 into the second. Following a faceoff win by Cole Schwindt, Tobias Bjornfot circled around the back of the net and tucked in a wraparound at the right post to make it 1-0 Florida.

The Chicago Blackhawks host the defending Stanley Cup champion Florida Panthers on Sunday night at the United Center.
The Panthers season has been a bit of a roller coaster: a sluggish start out of the gate put them behind the curve early, they stabilized into something resembling a competent team for a stretch, then dipped again into inconsistency before finally showing some signs of life recently. After going 6-4-0 in their last 10 games and riding a modest two-game win streak — includi...

The Chicago Blackhawks were under siege most of the night but pushed the Tampa Bay Lightning to the shootout and ultimately fell 2–1 on Friday night, picking up their third point out of a possible four on a back-to-back weekend.
The Blackhawks opened the scoring with 2:18 left in the first period on the power play. A quick pass from Oliver Moore along the left-wing boards and a subtle touch pass by Nick Lardis sent Ryan Greene skating into the slot, where he snapped a wrister into the net...
