Game Preview
The Blackhawks will conclude their post-Olympics road trip on Tuesday night in Winnipeg when it takes on the Jets.
These two teams met at the United Center in mid-January, with much of the focus that evening on former Hawks captain Jonathan Toews playing in his first game in Chicago as an opponent. The Hawks won that game 2-0 and much of what was discussed regarding Winnipeg in the preview for that game still holds true. The Jets are still 10 points behind a playoff spot and have just 23 ...
The Winnipeg Jets have been chasing the Anaheim Ducks & Seattle Kraken for the Western Conference’s final wildcard spot for quite a while now. Catching one of those franchises was the True Northers’ only hope to qualify for the playoffs, even though there was quite the gap they needed to overcome.
But that has recently changed over the past couple weeks of NHL action, as the Ducks have gone on a 5 game winning streak ( 8-2-0 in past 10 ) to move up the Western Conference standings. As a r...
With deadline week officially upon us in the NHL, Edmonton Oilers GM Stan Bowman wasted little time getting into the spirit of the week as he acquired veteran right-shot defenceman Connor Murphy from the Chicago Blackhawks. The trade makes sense for a lot of reasons. Murphy is the true definition of a defensive defenceman. He…

The Blackhawks built a lead and kept it from slipping away on Sunday afternoon, winning 4-0 over the Utah Mammoth.
In the final minute of the first period, A forecheck from Tyler Bertuzzi led to a power-play goal from Teuvo that sent Chicago to the first intermission with a 1-0 lead.

Head down to the comments to talk about Sunday’s game against the Mammoth!
Game Preview
Minimal rest is available to the Hawks this weekend as they head to Salt Lake City this afternoon for a game against the Utah Mammoth.
These two teams will become quite familiar with each other in March, as they’ll play three times in the next two weeks to account for 75 percent of their meeting this season. The other 25 percent came back in October when the Hawks won 3-1 at the United Center for their first win of the season. Since then, a youthful Utah lineup has worked its way into pos...
Despite grabbing the early lead and keeping the Colorado Avalanche at bay for most of the first 40 minutes — well, Spencer Knight did, anyway — the Chicago Blackhawks couldn’t hold on forever, falling 3-1 on Saturday night in Denver.
The Blackhawks struck first at 6:31 of the first period as Connor Bedard corralled Tyler Bertuzzi’s centering feed and snapped a heavy wrist shot for a power-play goal and a 1-0 lead.

In continuation of the Central Division showdowns, the Colorado Avalanche moved on in their busy schedule in hosting the Chicago Blackhawks in a Saturday afternoon affair hoping to erase the bitter taste of defeat from two nights ago. It wasn’t a masterful effort but still Colorado found enough to end up with a 3-1 win […]
Head down to the comments to talk about Saturday’s game against the Avalanche!
Game Preview
With two of five games in a seven day stretch now behind them, it’s safe to assume that the Colorado Avalanche were looking forward to the weekend. This afternoon, the visiting Chicago Blackhawks will make their only regular season appearance in Denver, as the Avs face their third consecutive Central Division opponent in four days. […]
The Blackhawks kick off a weekend back-to-back in Denver on Saturday evening against the league-leading Colorado Avalanche.
Colorado has basically spent this season doing laps around the rest of the league. At 38-10-9 (.746 points percentage), they’re five points clear of the next closest team in the standings and looking every bit like a group that knows exactly how good it is. The underlying numbers are just as suffocating: Colorado owns 56.14 percent of shot attempts (second in the lea...

Heading into the Olympic break, the Chicago Blackhawks’ penalty kill ranked No. 1 in the NHL with an 85.7 percent conversion rate. Last season it was ranked 14th overall (79.3 percent) and was 27th in the 2023-24 season (75.8 percent). I thought it would be a good exercise to take a look at a couple of their recent games and examine what’s made the Blackhawks’ penalty kill so successful this season.
