The Chicago Blackhawks dug themselves a three-goal hole in the first period, then climbed all the way out of it to beat the Anaheim Ducks 5–3 on Sunday and finally snap their five-game winless skid.
The Ducks blitzed the Blackhawks early with two goals in the first 47 seconds. First, Cutter Gauthier buried a cross-ice feed from Troy Terry just 15 seconds into the game.

Laurent Brossoit hasn't played a game for the Chicago Blackhawks since signing a two-year, $6.6 million deal with them in the summer of 2024. He's been out recovering first from knee surgery, then hip surgery. It's cost him a season and a half, but he's getting closer to a return. Insider Elliotte Friedman noted on Hockey Night in Canada that, while his future doesn't appear to be in a Blackhawks uniform, as they don't have room for him in their crease, a notable suitor is lurking, and Chicago...

The Blackhawks have lost five straight games. Their last game was an unusually flat performance on home ice, which was even more disappointing because they broke out their black uniforms for the first time in nearly two decades. They’ll have the black on again today. Hopefully the on-ice effort (at least) is better.
The Anaheim Ducks come in 5-5-0 in their last 10 games and their last two games have been 5-4 finals (one regulation loss to Vancouver, Friday night an overtime win against th...

The Chicago Blackhawks wrap up their current homestead on Sunday afternoon against the Anaheim Ducks, aiming to put an end to their five-game slide.
The Ducks have been one of the surprise stories of the season, charging out to one of their best starts in years. They currently sit at the top of the Pacific Division thanks to having the second best offense in the league, a production rate that is primarily derived from having one of the most productive under-25 groups this season. The defe...

Because the comments have become predictably lazy about the Blackhawks’ performance on Friday night — specifically those exclusively blaming Arvid Söderblom — let’s talk about that for a moment. Söderblom was not great against Buffalo or Nashville, two teams with bad records. That’s true. But blaming a goaltender exclusively tells me you either didn’t watch the game or refuse to acknowledge that, in both of those games, there were more flat tires on the ice than just the guy between the pipes....

Please read this before I get started: no single player is individually worthy of exclusive blame for the Blackhawks’ five-game losing streak. Not the goalie(s). Not the defensemen. And no one forward has lost five straight games by themselves.
It’s been a group effort, both in the good, competitive losses to Colorado and Minnesota and the ugly losses in Buffalo and to Nashville.
But I think we’re at a point in his first full professional season that Oliver Moore might benefit from a...

The Chicago Blackhawks’ 4–3 loss to the Nashville Predators on Friday night at the United Center marked their fifth straight loss. Not great, Bob.
The Blackhawks opened the scoring with 50 seconds left in the first, thanks to a sharp little sequence in transition. Sam Rinzel pushed the puck ahead from the neutral zone, springing Ryan Donato, who stepped into the top of the circle and ripped a snap shot home.

The Blackhawks have lost four in a row, but their last two games have been tight contests against arguably the two hottest teams in the entire NHL. Chicago is 5-3-2 in their last 10 games.
The Predators come in having won their last game! Which improves them to 2-6-2 in their last 10 games. Add the worst goal differential in the entire NHL (minus-26) and the fewest points in the entire NHL (18) and this stacks up as a good night for the Blackhawks to (hopefully) get right.

The Chicago Blackhawks look to end their four-game losing streak on Friday as they host the Nashville Predators at the United Center.
The Predators limp into the weekend sitting second-to-last in the NHL by points percentage (.391), with only the Calgary Flames keeping them from claiming the league’s basement suite. Their recent form hasn’t helped matters — a 2-6-2 skid over their last 10 has done a lot of the damage — but they at least arrive with something resembling momentum after a 6–...

The Blackhawks started strong, faded late, then lost 4-3 in overtime on Wednesday night against the Minnesota Wild.
After a dominant first period, the Blackhawks were finally able to beat Minnesota goaltender Filip Gustavvson at 5:41 into the second period when a bad turnover by the Wild bounced to Jason Dickinson in the slot, and he fired it five hole:

The Chicago Blackhawks continue a four-game homestand Wednesday night, welcoming the red-hot Minnesota Wild to the United Center.
The Wild looked like a mess early on, but they’ve been having a lot of success lately, riding a five-game winning streak and an 8-1-1 heater in their last 10, capped off with back-to-back shutouts against the Pittsburgh Penguins (5-0) and Winnipeg Jets (3-0) in their most recent wins. This current run has vaulted them to third in the Central Division and inject...
