Your One Way Street: Blackhawks vs. Oilers Preview
The Blackhawks look to continue their strong start to 2026 when they face the Edmonton Oilers on Monday night at the United Center. When these two teams met in Edmonton back on Nov. 1, the Oilers were still in their typical early-season malaise, owning just a 5-4-3 record before beating the Hawks 3-2 in overtime . But Edmonton hit the gas around Thanksgiving, going 11-5-1 in late November and most of December to surge from outside of the playoff picture to second place in the Pacific Divi...

All I Wanted: Blackhawks 3, Predators 0
Thanks in large part to its goaltending, Chicago picked up two more vital points with a 3-0 win on the road over the Nashville Predators on Saturday night. After a scoreless first period, the Hawks took the lead for good at the 6:41 mark of the second, when Connor Bedard evaded some Nashville defenders and found Tyler Bertuzzi in his usual spot for a tap-in goal: GOAL: Connor Bedard WHAT A PLAY to set up Bertuzzi for a tap-in goal 😮💨 pic.twitter.com/v83lt7e6rg — BHF (@Blackhaw...

Feeling Sorry: Blackhawks at Predators Preview
The Blackhawks have a quick turnaround from Friday’s loss at home to Washington, as they’re in Nashville on Saturday night to face the Predators. It’s the second between meeting between these two teams this season, with Nashville taking two points in the first one with a 4-3 victory at the United Center over Thanksgiving weekend. That win was right around the time that the Predators turned things around from a woeful 6-12-4 start. In the five or six weeks since, Nashville is 14-7-0, surgi...

Anywhere But Here: Capitals 5, Blackhawks 1
A flu bug sidelined both of the Hawks goalies and multiple skaters on Friday, leaving the team with a shorthanded roster that couldn’t extend the team’s winning streak, losing 5-1 at home to the Capitals.

Keep ‘Em Coming: Blackhawks 7, Blues 3
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.

Maybe I’ll Catch Fire: Blackhawks vs. Blues Preview
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 aren’t 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...

The Blackhawks Week That Was and Will Be, 1/6: Wait For It
Every now and then, I come across some headline or social media post that makes a grand statement regarding the quality of Kyle Davidson’s work as Hawks GM and it always leaves me confused, because I don’t 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 — at best — a few foundational pieces with minimal to no structure abov...

Corn Dog Sonnet No. 7: Blackhawks vs. Golden Knights Preview
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 it’s been all downhill since, with the Knights losing seven of their last eight games, including a 4-3 ...

Chicago couldn’t hang on to a third-period lead but picked up a second point via the shootout, defeating the Capitals 3-2 in Washington on Saturday night.
