Anton Frondell picked up his first NHL point in his debut, recording an assist in the Blackhawks’ 4-3 win over the New York Islanders on Tuesday night.
The Islanders struck first just 49 seconds into the game. Anders Lee got his stick on Matthew Schaefer’s blast from the blue line and redirected it past the glove of Arvid Soderblom.

With multiple teams pushing for a playoff spot they are letting slip away, the Islanders wasted a golden opportunity to keep pace against a bottom-five team that has nothing to play for but the pretense that next season will be better. The Isles got out to a decent start and 1-0 lead in the first […]

Game Preview
The Islanders host the Blackhawks and will use the same lineup, minus a change in goal, as the 1-0 win over the Blue Jackets. That means Ryan Pulock remains out (injury), Matthew Schaefer remains a temporarily right-sided defenseman (and Adam Boqvist continues with Scott Mayfield), while Anthony Duclair stays out of the lineup, though Patrick […]

The Chicago Blackhawks kick off a four-game road trip Tuesday night against the New York Islanders. And oh yeah, top prospect Anton Frondell is officially in the lineup tonight for his NHL debut!
Since the Blackhawks last saw the Islanders at the end of December, their points percentage has ticked up slightly from .590 to .599, but they’ve still slid in the standings, going from third in the Metropolitan Division to just outside the second wild card spot in the Eastern Conference. The Det...

The Chicago Blackhawks lost to the Nashville Predators 3-2 in overtime on Sunday afternoon, a game that helped Nashville solidify its hold on the second wildcard spot.
Nick Lardis opened the scoring 4:34 into the second period following a 2-on-1 rush with Frank Nazar. The play was initiated by a pass from Tyler Bertuzzi in the defensive zone, and Lardis’s pass to Nazar went off Nicolas Hague’s stick and into the net.

Following a loss on Friday night, the Chicago Blackhawks host the Nashville Predators on Sunday afternoon — a team that was supposed to be at the bottom of the standings, but has snuck their way back into the playoff conversation.
The Predators are currently in the second wild card spot with 73 points. That’s right: even though Nashville was supposed to be hanging out in the basement of the league alongside the Blackhawks, they’ve won three straight, have a 5-4-1 record in their last 10 g...
The Chicago Blackhawks fell 4-1 to the Colorado Avalanche at the United Center on Friday, a loss that also saw Colorado become the first team in the NHL to clinch a playoff berth this season.
The Avalanche opened the scoring 13:19 into the first. Martin Necas received a backhand pass from Nathan MacKinnon in the circle and snapped a shot that bounced off Arvid Soderblom and into the back of the net, putting the Avalanche up 1-0.

After falling 2-1 to the Dallas Stars in a shootout at home on Wednesday, the Colorado Avalanche kicked off a four-game road trip against the Chicago Blackhawks.

Fresh off a strong win on Thursday night, the Blackhawks return home to face the top team in the league on Friday night at the United Center: the Colorado Avalanche.
Colorado is the No. 1 team in the league standings, the best at scoring goals (3.69 per game) and preventing them (2.48 per game), with their superiority further confirmed by the best expected goal share in the league (56.21 percent). The Avs’ only real opponent this season has been boredom. On Jan. 10, they had 73 points in ...
Tonight, the Colorado Avalanche hit the road and find themselves in Chicago just after they turned the river green for St. Patrick’s Day.

For the first time in far, far too long, the Blackhawks recorded a regulation victory against the Minnesota Wild, winning 2-1 over their divisional rivals on Thursday night in St. Paul.
With about 3:30 left in the first, Chicago opened the scoring when Andrew Mangiapane set up Ilya Mikheyev up at the back door for an easy tap-in goal:

The Blackhawks and Wild renew acquaintances on Thursday night in the Twin Cities, just about 48 hours after the Wild beat the Hawks 4-3 in overtime on Tuesday night at the United Center, which has been the outcome of every meeting between these two Central Division foes this season.
There’s nothing new to report on either team, so no need for a lengthy preamble here. The win on Tuesday means that it’s now a 19-game unbeaten streak for Minnesota (18-0-1) against Chicago, a streak that’s ju...

The 2026 trade deadline has come and gone. In total, the Edmonton Oilers traded three roster players in two separate trades. They acquired Colton Dach and Jason Dickinson from the Chicago Blackhawks, sending a 2027 top-12-protected first and Andrew Mangiapane in return. In December, the Oilers also thought they solved their goaltending situation, acquiring Tristan…
Feels like we’re past the total teardown portion of this whole rebuild the Hawks have been embarking upon for several seasons now, so let’s take a moment to see what an NHL team can obtain by spending a few seasons selling off anything of value at multiple trade deadlines, which should give us a better sense of what Chicago added by heading down this path. If we pinpoint the start of this process as beginning during the 2021-22 season, keep in mind that the team that was sold off for parts fin...
That's Wild
The Minnesota Wild were able to have a well-earned 4-3 overtime win over the Chicago Blackhawks (even if the score shouldn't have been that close) and after losing their previous three games to non-playoff teams, that was so desperately needed. Even if the puck bounced one single ot...

A late Chicago goal forced overtime on Tuesday night at the United Center before Minnesota scored during the extra session for its third 4-3 OT win over the Blackhawks this season.
An old friend opened the scoring, with Ryan Hartman finding a soft spot in the low slot for this relatively easy goal that made it a 1-0 Wild game about six minutes into the first period:
