The Blackhawks (4-8-0) travel to Detroit for their first road game in 21 days, taking on the Red Wings (5-4-3) Thursday at 6:30 p.m. CT. Patrick Kane, now with Chicago, returns to Detroit one assist shy of 900 career assists. Chicago rides a 2‑1 win over LA, with Roman Kantserov scoring and Spencer Knight posting a 25‑save shutout, but has managed just four goals in its last four games. Detroit comes off a 4‑3 shootout win over Edmonton, yet rookie forward Dylan Larkin is sidelined amid trade talks and will miss Thursday. Both teams field altered lineups—Alex Vlasic is questionable for the Hawks, Bowen Byram misses his sixth game, and the Red Wings run an 11‑forward, seven‑defensemen roster. Goaltenders Spencer Knight (4‑6‑0) and John Gibson (3‑4‑1) square off, setting the stage for a pivotal early‑season matchup.
Brooklyn Nets guard Egor Demin suffers a bone bruise in his right leg and will miss at least the next four games—Detroit (Fri), Indiana (Sun), New York (Mon) and Charlotte (Wed).

The 20‑year‑old, the 8th overall pick in 2025, has been averaging 9.7 points, 3.0 assists and 2.7 rebounds in 25.7 minutes while shooting 30.8% this season. Mikel Brown Jr. and Nolan Traore are expected to see increased minutes.
