Remember three days ago when we discussed the potential financial complications a successful first wave of the Blackhawks’ youth movement could potentially have? The Blackhawks made a trade on Thursday afternoon to start working on that issue.
The Blackhawks acquired the contract of Ryan Ellis, defenseman Jake Furlong and a fourth-round pick in the 2028 NHL Draft from the San Jose Sharks in exchange for defenseman Nolan Allan, goaltender Laurent Brossoit and a 2028 seventh-round pick. ...

With a looming NHL trade freeze before the Olympic break in February, the rumor mill is starting to pick up around the league. And the Chicago Blackhawks have some names that are starting to pop up with other insiders who could be on the move at some point.
On Wednesday, I wrote about some potential trade scenarios for a few current Blackhawks. With a few veterans in the final years of their respective contracts who could be valuable additions to teams chasing a championship, the rumors w...

How about a little caffeinated applause for the boys last night, eh? The Blackhawks put boot to [donkey] on the St. Louis Blues last night, putting a touchdown on the board and kicking the extra point for good measure. Most impressively, the Hawks had seven goals from seven different skaters last night — and one of them was not the team’s leader, Tyler Bertuzzi . The depth scoring we’ve been longing for is starting to really show out.
Whenever you have a handful of guys with multi-point e...

The first period gave us a little of everything. The Blackhawks allowed a goal 27 seconds into the game, but they didn’t on three penalty kills. The Hawks got one power play of their own, and made it count. And the full Levshunov Experience was on display as he took two penalties in the first 15 minutes of action. Not exactly ideal.
The second period was all about Jordan Binnington being an Olympian for Canada. The Blackhawks scored four times and out-shot the Blues 16-8 in the period. An...

Sadly, we have another obituary to add to the Blackhawks’ Centennial season.
Glenn Hall, one of the greatest goaltenders in the history of the NHL, has died . He was 94.
The NHL mourns the passing of Glenn Hall, the very definition of what all hockey goaltenders aspire to be. Aptly nicknamed “Mr. Goalie,” Glenn was sturdy, dependable, and a spectacular talent in net.

Now with three straight wins in their back pocket, the Hawks are at the United Center once again to host the St. Louis Blues on Wednesday night.
Many of the issues plaguing the Blues when these two teams met one month ago in St. Louis remain. They have the worst offense in the league (dead last at 2.49 goals per game) and aren’t much better on defense (3.35 goals against per game, 27th in the league). The power play and penalty kill are ranked in the 20s along with their shot attempt shar...

Yeah, it’s another late night national broadcast. And, yes, it’s two teams who are closer to the top of the draft lottery than the top of the standings. But the Blackhawks and Blues is always pure cinema, and tonight could be a fun one.
St. Louis comes in having won their last two games. The Blackhawks are undefeated in 2026. Get the coffee (or whatever else you choose to drink during the game) ready because this is going to be a late night of rivalry hockey at the United Center!

If you didn’t know, the NHL has a trade freeze during the Olympic break. It runs from 2 PM CT on Feb. 4 (Blackhawks legend Denis Savard’s birthday) until 10:59 PM CT on Feb. 22. The 2026 NHL Trade Deadline (final) is set for Friday, March 6, 2026, at 2 PM CT, meaning there are less than two weeks from the conclusion of the Olympics and the final trade deadline for front offices to find every perfect fix for their potential postseason problems.

Connor Bedard being on the ice with the Blackhawks for a good part of Tuesday’s practice and his comments about being close to returning to game action got a lot of the attention yesterday (and rightfully so), but it was also good to see Frank Nazar back on the ice for the first time since his injury. Nazar was wearing a full face shield, as expected.

Since we’re on a good run with Blackhawks prospect content right now, let’s stay with the future of the Chicago Blackhawks.
Blackhawks prospect Roman Kantserov did an interview with Daria Tuboltseva at R.com about his season, an NHL future and moving to center. It’s a good, deep interview with a lot to take away. A couple comments that stood out to me.
The first quote that got my attention was what he said about the Blackhawks still actively recruiting him to sign:

Sweden won gold at the World Junior Championship last night, the first title for the Swedes since 2012. Blackhawks prospect Anton Frondell had a very good tournament. He was named the top forward in the tournament by the directorate (team management groups) and was also named one of the three forwards on the media’s all-tournament team .
“It was time for gold, and we did it. It’s amazing,” he said after the game.

Coming into Monday night, we already knew history was going to be made at the World Junior Championship. Sweden hadn’t won gold since 2012. Czechia hadn’t won the title since 2001. They faced each other for the 2026 championship.

How about these Chicago Blackhawks? After a brutal stretch of games in which they went 1-8-0 that began with the game against the Blues in which Connor Bedard got hurt, the increasingly young Blackhawks have flipped the script. They’re 4-1-1 in their last six — a stretch that includes two wins against the Dallas Stars and Sunday night’s win against the Vegas Golden Knights.
Those three wins against teams viewed as Western Conference powerhouses have been impressive in many ways. The fact ...
