Mothers of the Sun: Blackhawks vs. Canucks Preview
The Chicago Blackhawks return to the United Center on Friday night following a four-game road trip (five if you count before the Olympic break) and host the Vancouver Canucks. The Canucks sit dead last in the standings with an 18-36-7 record (good enough for a whopping 43 points). As the Canucks deal with the existential crisis of committing to a rebuild, a 1-7-2 record in their last 10 games has slid by, including losses in their last three games. With the trade deadline dominating headl...
Blackhawks trade Nick Foligno to the Wild
Over the last few days, it certainly seemed like Nick Foligno was going to be traded at some point before the deadline, but the destination was the real mystery. That question was answered on Friday morning when reports surfaced that the veteran forward was headed to the Minnesota Wild. The Chicago Blackhawks confirmed the move shortly after the initial reports: trade alertđź”” pic.twitter.com/RM7o5GjQEX — Chicago Blackhawks (@NHLBlackhawks) March 6, 2026 The Blackhawks are r...

Blackhawks Bits: Kaiser’s return appears imminent; Korchinski assigned to Rockford
Chicago was back on the practice ice on Thursday ahead of Friday’s home game against Vancouver, with some lineup shuffles occurring after a couple of trades this week. Those shuffles were also required due to the apparent return of Wyatt Kaiser, who was injured just before the Olympic break and hadn’t played since Chicago returned to game action last week. But he was a full participant at Thursday’s practice, skating opposite Sam Rinzel. The forwards were also moved around now that neithe...

Blackhawks trade Jason Dickinson, Colton Dach to the Oilers
Seems like the Chicago Blackhawks aren’t done dealing with the Edmonton Oilers. After sending Connor Murphy north on Monday, reports now indicate the Blackhawks are shipping out Jason Dickinson and Colton Dach to Edmonton as well. Because when you find a trade partner, you might as well keep the line open, right? In return, the Blackhawks are receiving Andrew Mangiapane and a protected 2027 first-round pick from the Oilers. Half of Dickinson’s salary will also be retained. The team c...

These Eyes: Blackhawks at Jets Preview
The Blackhawks will conclude their post-Olympics road trip on Tuesday night in Winnipeg when it takes on the Jets. These two teams met at the United Center in mid-January, with much of the focus that evening on former Hawks captain Jonathan Toews playing in his first game in Chicago as an opponent. The Hawks won that game 2-0 and much of what was discussed regarding Winnipeg in the preview for that game still holds true. The Jets are still 10 points behind a playoff spot and have just 23 ...

On My Own: Blackhawks 4, Mammoth 0
The Blackhawks built a lead and kept it from slipping away on Sunday afternoon, winning 4-0 over the Utah Mammoth.

Blue and Yellow: Blackhawks at Mammoth Preview
Minimal rest is available to the Hawks this weekend as they head to Salt Lake City this afternoon for a game against the Utah Mammoth. These two teams will become quite familiar with each other in March, as they’ll play three times in the next two weeks to account for 75 percent of their meeting this season. The other 25 percent came back in October when the Hawks won 3-1 at the United Center for their first win of the season. Since then, a youthful Utah lineup has worked its way into pos...
Walk It Off: Avalanche 3, Blackhawks 1
Despite grabbing the early lead and keeping the Colorado Avalanche at bay for most of the first 40 minutes — well, Spencer Knight did, anyway — the Chicago Blackhawks couldn’t hold on forever, falling 3-1 on Saturday night in Denver. The Blackhawks struck first at 6:31 of the first period as Connor Bedard corralled Tyler Bertuzzi’s centering feed and snapped a heavy wrist shot for a power-play goal and a 1-0 lead. Connor Bedard has his 25th goal of the season! 🚨 pic.twitter.com/38WOP...

Snap Yo Fingers: Blackhawks at Avalanche Preview
The Blackhawks kick off a weekend back-to-back in Denver on Saturday evening against the league-leading Colorado Avalanche. Colorado has basically spent this season doing laps around the rest of the league. At 38-10-9 (.746 points percentage), they’re five points clear of the next closest team in the standings and looking every bit like a group that knows exactly how good it is. The underlying numbers are just as suffocating: Colorado owns 56.14 percent of shot attempts (second in the lea...
Breaking down the Blackhawks’ penalty kill
Heading into the Olympic break, the Chicago Blackhawks’ penalty kill ranked No. 1 in the NHL with an 85.7 percent conversion rate. Last season it was ranked 14th overall (79.3 percent) and was 27th in the 2023-24 season (75.8 percent). I thought it would be a good exercise to take a look at a couple of their recent games and examine what’s made the Blackhawks’ penalty kill so successful this season. Chalk Talk Assistant coach Michael Peca runs the Hawks’ penalty kill and has mov...
