The Blackhawks didn’t do much of anything on offense while being shut out 4-0 by the Red Wings on Saturday night at the United Center.
On a night when the giveaway was a Chris Chelios bobblehead, perhaps there was no more fitting development early on than a pair of Hawks scoring the first two goals for Detroit. Alex DeBrincat was up first, tallying just 55 seconds into the game:
Detroit goal!
Scored by Alex DeBrincat with 19:05 remaining in the 1st period.

Blackhawks head coach Jeff Blashill talked roughly seven hours before the Blackhawks host the Red Wings on Saturday. That isn’t a normal timeline for a head coach talking on the second day of a back-to-back with travel between games and no morning skate; usually the coach will talk a couple hours before the game starts.
Obviously, the circumstances were slightly different for the Blackhawks head coach on Saturday. His best player, Connor Bedard , suffered an injury inside the final second...

The Blackhawks return to the United Center on Saturday night to host the Detroit Red Wings about 24 hours after a miserable night in St. Louis was made significantly worse in the game’s closing seconds.
We’ll get to Detroit in a bit because the more pressing issues deal with the home team in this game. Chicago lost 3-2 to the Blues last night but — more importantly — lost Connor Bedard to an apparent shoulder injury in the game’s closing seconds. Word on the severity of his injury won’t c...

In the wake of Connor Bedard ‘s injury last night , the Blackhawks are recalling Nick Lardis from Rockford to hopefully help the offense.
Lardis, 20, scored his 13th goal of the season for Rockford last night; he’s tied for fourth in the AHL overall and ranks second among rookies in goals. Lardis’ 26 points lead all AHL rookies entering Saturday’s action.
Originally a third-round pick (No. 67) by the Blackhawks in 2023, Lardis broke records last year when he scored 71 goals in 65 reg...

Tough scene in the dying seconds of Friday's game against the St. Louis Blues, as Chicago Blackhawks forward Connor Bedard was injured on a freak accident in the final seconds. Bedard suffered a right shoulder injury in the 3-2 loss to the Blues, as he was checked by Blues center Brayden Schenn on a faceoff with 0.8 seconds left. Blackhawks' head coach Jeff Blashill called it a 'freak accident' after the game, which makes it seem like his shoulder popped out of place thanks to the dangerous pu...

Usually I have prospect highlights a little lower in our bullets, but the injury suffered by Connor Bedard last night makes it feel like a call to Rockford might need to happen. The good news is the IceHogs were at home, so it’s only a drive to get someone to Chicago.
The most likely candidate to bring some offense to help the Blackhawks if Bedard is going to miss any significant time would be Nick Lardis , who scored his 13th goal of the season for the IceHogs last night. Here are a coup...

The Chicago Blackhawks couldn’t complete the comeback Friday night, falling 3–2 to the St. Louis Blues in a loss that was made worse by Connor Bedard suffering an injury in the final seconds of the game.
The Blues struck first just 3:41 into the game, cashing in on a delayed penalty. Logan Mailloux picked off a pass at the point, drifted into the circle, and snapped a far-side shot to put the Blues up 1-0.

A weekend back-to-back for the Hawks starts on Friday night in St. Louis against the Blues.
A few months ago, these two teams met in the same building and Chicago handed St. Louis a thorough ass-kicking in an 8-3 game that may not have been as close as the already lopsided score indicated. What have the Blues been up to since then? Most recently, they were getting their asses handed to them by the Nashville Predators, losing 7-2 there on Thursday night before getting back into town late. ...

The elephant in seemingly every room in the NHL right now is the future of Quinn Hughes in Vancouver.
The star defenseman will be an unrestricted free agent in 2027 and things are bad in Vancouver right now. The Canucks are in last place in the entire league, and things aren’t getting better.
This all started, however, after last season at the Canucks’ season-ending media when Vancouver’s front office decided to throw out there that they weren’t sure about Hughes’ future and if he wa...

The Blackhawks are out of town on business tonight. Back-to-backs haven’t treated them well this year, but the most important game in those scenarios is the first one. And the Blackhawks are invading St. Louis to face a vulnerable, banged up Blues squad tonight that’s playing the second half of a back-to-back of their own. The Blues got obliterated by the Predators 7-2 last night, including a franchise record-tying four goals from Steven Stamkos.
On the other side, the Blackhawks are comi...

The Blackhawks’ win over the Rangers on Wednesday night checked almost every box that you would want from the team. Connor Bedard scored a highlight-reel goal. Tyler Bertuzzi deposited loose change again. Spencer Knight was spectacular in net and got a shutout. The Blackhawks were able to beat Igor Shesterkin three times. It was the right bounce-back effort that you hoped to see.
When I say almost every box, that’s because Frank Nazar still can’t buy a goal.
He had a few chances. One...

The Chicago Blackhawks bounced back into the win column on Wednesday night with a 3-0 victory against the New York Rangers at the United Center.
After a scoreless opening frame, the Blackhawks struck first with a shorthanded tally about seven minutes into the second. Louis Crevier chased down a cleared puck and powered his way to the net to finish it off. Credit goes to Ilya Mikheyev, who forced the turnover that started it all, and Matt Grzelcyk, who launched the clearing pass that sprun...
