Chicago’s sojourn through Canada continues this weekend as the Blackhawks face off against Connor McDavid and the Edmonton Oilers on Saturday night.
It’s a similar Cup-or-bust season for the Oilers, who lost in six games to the Florida Panthers in last summer’s after losing in seven games to the same Panthers in 2024. With Sasha Barkov out for the season in Sunrise, though, the possibility of Edmonton finally summiting the top of the hockey world seems more real than ever. And it’s largel...

The first night of a six-game road trip did not go the Blackhawks way, as Chicago lost 6-3 to the Winnipeg Jets on Thursday night up in Canada.
The Jets got on the board first, scoring less than two minutes into the first period. Vladislav Namestnikov finished off a slick passing sequence from Gustav Nyquist and Nino Niederreiter, converting on the power play to give Winnipeg a 1–0 lead.

The Blackhawks kick off a long road trip on Thursday night up in Canada against the Winnipeg Jets — and franchise icon Jonathan Toews.
The Jets are off to a solid start through their first 10 games, sitting at a 7-3-0 record and looking like a team that’s found its footing early — or at least knows how to lean hard on Connor Hellebuyck until the rest catches up.

And just like that , the sun is shining once again in Blackhawks land.
It’s difficult to avoid getting carried away when Connor Bedard does things like he did on Tuesday night which speak to the incredible hype that has followed him around since he was a teenager, long before he started lighting up scoreboards for the Blackhawks.
