The San Jose Sharks are looking for redemption tonight after putting up a subpar effort in Calgary just a few nights ago. The Sharks are in Chicago visiting the Blackhawks for stop number three on the road trip. It doesn’t get easier from here, so this really feels like a game that the Sharks need to win.
This is the first of three meetings between the Sharks and the Blackhawks.
The Blackhawks are probably out of the playoffs with a 21-25-9 record and just 51 points, the Blackhawks a...
The Chicago Blackhawks host the San Jose Sharks on Monday night for their final home game before the Olympic break.
The Sharks are currently sitting just three points outside a playoff position with two games in hand, which on the surface, looks like a massive step forward from last season, when they finished dead last in the NHL. Dig a little deeper, though, and the underlying numbers suggest the progress isn’t quite as dramatic as the standings imply. San Jose still ranks last in the le...
The Blackhawks host their final home game before the Olympic break, and it should be a fun one! The San Jose Sharks are in town, giving us a matchup of two of the emerging superstars in the NHL. There should be plenty of motivation for the Blackhawks to give their home fans a better showing than their last few games. And the Sharks are fighting for a wild card berth.

There were some sketchy moments over the past two games, but the Pittsburgh Penguins kept their winning streak going this past week with a 6-2 win over the Chicago Blackhawks on Thursday night and a 6-5 win over the New York Rangers on Saturday afternoon. The week got off to a rocky start with a […]
Really good read from this weekend from Ben Pope at the Chicago Sun-Times looking at the current directions of the front offices in Chicago and San Jose. The Blackhawks and Sharks play Monday night, so I thought it was worth both a bump and some additional discussion.
The parallels between the Blackhawks and Sharks run deep. Both Mike Grier and Kyle Davidson were named the permanent general managers of their respective clubs in 2022. And, as Pope writes, both teams went with the burn-it-d...

The Blackhawks schedule is giving everyone — the players, coaches and fans — a desperately needed full weekend off to exhale and get ready for two more exciting games before… three weeks off.

Better still wasn’t good enough for the Blackhawks on Friday night at the United Center, as they suffered their fifth straight defeat in a 4-2 loss to the Columbus Blue Jackets.
The first 19 minutes of the opening period did not have a goal, then the final minute had two of them. First, Charlie Coyle scored to give CBJ a brief 1-0 lead:

Game Preview
On January 28th in 1937, Montreal Canadiens superstar Howie Morenz fractured his leg in four places when he crashed awkwardly into the corner boards and Chicago Blackhawks blueliner Earl Seibert landed on top of him.
The three-time Stanley Cup (1924, 1930, 1931) and Hart trophy winner (1928, 1931, 1932), who led the NHL in points twice (1928, 1931), goals once (1928), and the Canadiens in both
On January 26th in 2001, Steve Sullivan of the Chicago Blackhawks was belittled by an out-spoken Avalanche fan as the forward left the ice upon having his nose bloodied by an Alex Tanguay highstick, resulting in a dozen stitches.
Sullivan returned to score two shorthanded goals and see the same fan struck by an errant puck from a Patrick Roy clearing attempt. Revenge was sweet for Sullivan who
The Blackhawks need a bounce-back performance in the worst way following Thursday’s debacle in Pittsburgh, and they’ll have an opportunity for that just over 24 hours later at home against the Columbus Blue Jackets.
But that rebound will not come easy against a Columbus team that is one of the league’s hottest sides at the moment, winners in seven of eight. That stretch hasn’t quite pulled CBJ into playoff contention just yet, though, as it’s now up to 57 points in 52 games (25-20-7) but ...

The thing that stood out the most to me about the Pittsburgh Penguins 6-2 win over the Chicago Blackhawks on Thursday evening is not just the players that provided the offense. It is also the players that did not provide the offense. Consider these numbers. Evgeni Malkin recorded one assist. Sidney Crosby recorded zero points. […]
Maybe gathering for a podcast right after a brutal 6-2 loss wasn't the best timing?
I’m old enough to remember when a matchup between Connor Bedard and Adam Fantilli was top shelf marketing material. Maybe it still should be. The first and third overall picks in the 2023 NHL Draft , Bedard and Fantilli are two of the three players from their draft class to have already eclipsed 100 career points. And, while Anaheim’s Leo Carlsson (the second overall pick) is getting more league-wide talk than Fantilli at this point, the Columbus center (and Michigan product) has actually scor...

The Blackhawks opened the scoring 9:32 into the first period. Ryan Greene found Connor Murphy in the high slot, and Murphy snapped a wrist shot through traffic to give the Blackhawks a 1-0 lead.

Pregame New lineup for the Penguins, Ilya Solovyov makes his Pittsburgh debut, Rutger McGroarty is back from the AHL to get back in the absence of Bryan Rust (suspension). Arturs Silovs gets the call in the net. First period Chicago starts the game with their third line, so Dan Muse elects to put his fourth […]
If you like fast games, the start of this one was… not that. It took more than six minutes for either team to register a shot on net. The Blackhawks got the game’s first power play and, while it didn’t convert, the Hawks got some momentum and took the early lead. But the Penguins got away with a blatant trip and tied the game two minutes later. The teams took a 1-1 score — and a healthy number of penalty minutes — to the room after 20 minutes.
