Gold Digger: Blackhawks vs. Maple Leafs
The Chicago Blackhawks are set to continue their four-game homestand as they welcome the Toronto Maple Leafs to the United Center Saturday night. The Toronto Maple Leafs’ season has mostly been a familiar cocktail of high-octane offense, questionable decision-making in their own zone, and a fan base oscillating nightly between parade planning and existential dread. They hovered in that “they should probably be better than this” section of the standings early on, but recently the Maple Lea...

Blackhawks Week That Was and Will Be, 11/14: Hold Fast Hope
I know it’s been several days since it happened, but my mind still keeps venturing back to how delightful it was to spend a Sunday afternoon watching a couple of young stars do the things that Connor Bedard and Caleb Williams did last weekend. It wasn’t long after the final horn sounded on yet another multi-point performance from No. 98 that Williams reeled off a pair of late touchdowns to secure yet another Bears victory. It’s easy to draw comparisons between the two, even if their sport...

Every Word Handwritten: Devils 4, Blackhawks 3
There was a hat trick scored at the United Center on Wednesday night but it wasn’t by anyone on the home team or anyone you’d expect from the road team, but it led to the New Jersey Devils skating away with both points in a 4-3 OT victory. Late in the first period, a pair of NJ penalties gave Chicago a two-man advantage and a long sequence of sustained pressure ended with this Connor Bedard one-timer for a goal: pic.twitter.com/QImy9pViK9 — BlackhawksFocus (@FocusBlackhawks) No...

Turn the Record Over: Blackhawks vs. Devils Preview
The Blackhawks return home from a largely successful road trip to find one of the league’s early front-runners waiting for them, as the New Jersey Devils will be Chicago’s opponent for a national broadcast from the United Center on Wednesday night. The NHL standings contain a hilarious slog of teams in the middle, with 24 teams occupying spots 5-28 in the league standings that have season totals between 17 and 22 points right now — the Blackhawks among them at 19. New Jersey is just above...

Die Historic: Blackhawks at Red Wings Preview
The Blackhawks finish off their season long six game road trip with a stop in Detroit for a noon puck drop against the Red Wings on Sunday. The year is 2074. Civilization has collapsed, and the world has devolved into a post-apocalyptic desert wasteland. We’re in the second brutal decade of the water wars, and humanity is hanging by a thread. It is now officially year 56 of the Yzerplan, and the Red Wings still have yet to make the playoffs. For the first time in a very long time, th...

This Could Be the Night: Blackhawks at Flames Preview
The Blackhawks have slowly started heading back towards Chicago but have one final Canadian stop on their road trip with Friday’s game against the Calgary Flames. The Flames have really been stumbling out of the gate in 2025–26, though they are on a two-game winning streak. After their 5–1 win over the Blue Jackets on Wednesday, they sit at 4–9–2 for a .333 points percentage that has them anchored near the bottom of the league. For that Blue Jackets game, they managed to win despite being...

Blackhawks Week That Was and Will Be, 11/7: Just win, baby
Sorry it’s late, folks. It’s been a week. We’re about one month into this season now and we’ve talked about the process a lot and we’re going to continue to do that because that’s the path to long-term sustainability here. The good teams always seem to have the puck more than their opponents, even in the postseason, and that’s why those possession numbers are going to be a constant theme because all of those little things on the ice, all of those little 1-on-1 moments that are won, add up...
