A three-game skid ended on Wednesday night in Vancouver as a Tyler Bertuzzi hat trick helped propel the Hawks to a 5-2 win over the Canucks.
Vancouver thought they had a 1-0 lead in the second period when Conor Garland scored, but a successful challenge from the Blackhawks confirmed that Garland pretty clearly cross-checked Spencer Knight prior to the goal, which was disallowed.

The Blackhawks will continue their search for the first win of their lengthy road trip in British Columbia on Wednesday night when they face the Vancouver Canucks.
It’s the first repeat opponent of the season for the Hawks, as these two teams met a few weeks ago in Chicago and the visitors skated away with both points following a 3-2 shootout defeat for the home side . The Hawks had a 2-0 lead in that game after one period that was gone by the second intermission, part of a season-long tr...

The Blackhawks remain without a win on their six-game road trip after a third straight defeat on Monday night, losing 3-1 to the Seattle Kraken.
After a scoreless first period, Seattle scored first when this seeing-eye point shot from Jamie Oleksiak ended up in the Blackhawks net:

The Seattle Kraken are the next opponent on the Blackhawks’ docket as they continue their lengthy jaunt away from the Windy City.
Seattle has opened this season with 14 points in 11 games (5-4-2), leaving them towards the middle of the standings in the Pacific Division and the Western Conference overall. Seattle won its first two games but hasn’t quite piled up the victories since, losing their last two games and four of the last six, most recently a 3-2 overtime loss to the New York Rang...

The Blackhawks played well enough to force overtime but not well enough to skate away with both points as the host Edmonton Oilers picked up a 3-2 win over Chicago on Saturday night.
The first period ended scoreless, but only by a fraction of a second because of this Leon Draisaitl shot during an Edmonton power play that crossed the goal line moments after the clock hit zero:
Time expired a fraction of a second before Leon Draisaitl's shot crossed the goal line. Scoreless after the f...

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. The Jets are coming off a 4–3 overtime win against the Wild on Tuesday, and it’s a recap that will be familiar to Blackhawks fan...

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. The same can be said when Frank Nazar is flying around the ice and racking up points as well, because these are two of the players expected to be at the heart of...

Connor Bedard scored the first hat trick of his NHL career as the Blackhawks built a 4-0 lead, nearly threw it away, but then finished off a grumpy Ottawa Senators squad by the score of 7-3 on Tuesday night at the United Center.
Colton Dach put the Hawks up 1-0 when he pounced on this rebound of a Louis Crevier shot for his first goal of the season:
