The Chicago Blackhawks hope it's nothing too serious for forward Frank Nazar. Nazar fell very awkwardly during the first period of Friday's game against the Calgary Flames, and did not return. Nazar was seen grabbing his knee in what looked like a potential sprain or tear, but at this point, no word yet on the severity, or how long he'll be out of the Blackhawks' lineup. The 21-year-old Nazar has been off to a strong start to the 2025-26 season as he's recorded five goals and 11 po...

I want to open our Saturday morning with a great point from Jonny Lazarus. We are indeed watching three generations of superstars in the NHL right now, from Ovi and Crosby to McDavid to Connor Bedard and Macklin Celebrini. The future of the NHL is happening right in front of us. The game is in a great place. We shouldn’t take times like this for granted as fans.
As hockey fans, we need to take a step back and appreciate what we’re witnessing right now. We’re watching 3 different generat...

A four-point night from Connor Bedard and a 33-save shutout from Spencer Knight powered the Chicago Blackhawks to a 4–0 win over the Calgary Flames on Friday.
Yes, you read that right: a shutout .
The Blackhawks got the scoring started 12:32 into the first period. Connor Bedard fired a shot from the circle that deflected off Tyler Bertuzzi’s shin and into the net for a power-play goal, putting the Blackhawks up 1-0.

The Blackhawks have slowly started heading back towards Chicago but have one final Canadian stop on their road trip with Friday’s game against the Calgary Flames.
The Flames have really been stumbling out of the gate in 2025–26, though they are on a two-game winning streak. After their 5–1 win over the Blue Jackets on Wednesday, they sit at 4–9–2 for a .333 points percentage that has them anchored near the bottom of the league. For that Blue Jackets game, they managed to win despite being...

Sorry it’s late, folks. It’s been a week.
We’re about one month into this season now and we’ve talked about the process a lot and we’re going to continue to do that because that’s the path to long-term sustainability here. The good teams always seem to have the puck more than their opponents, even in the postseason, and that’s why those possession numbers are going to be a constant theme because all of those little things on the ice, all of those little 1-on-1 moments that are won, add up...

Back in early October, just a handful of games into the 2025-26 Blackhawks season, I spotlighted comments from head coach Jeff Blashill and goaltender Spencer Knight that got my attention.
They were talking about mindset and process. And the Blackhawks approaching things with an approach of building an understanding of what it takes to be a playoff team.
“I really appreciate his eye for details, ” Knight said about Blashill at the time. “ [He’s] building a style that is sustainable o...

After rejoining the NHL’s hockey operations department, Brendan Shanahan looks like a short-term league hire with a long-term goal of running a team again. Among the suitors, the Buffalo Sabres stand out from the pack, edging the Chicago Blackhawks and Nashville Predators thanks to multiple factors. League chatter, and Sportsnet's Nick Kypreos suggests Shanahan would listen, provided he gets Toronto Maple Leafs -style autonomy.

We’ve already talked a good amount here about the marvelous start to the season the Blackhawks have enjoyed from goaltender Spencer Knight .
Knight, 24, has started 10 of the Blackhawks’ first 14 games. Among goalies who have appeared in at least 5 games this season, Knight ranks fourth in save percentage (.919) and 11th in goals against average (2.56). Of course, GAA is a function of the number of shots he’s facing. And we don’t need to look much further than Wednesday night’s win to see...

A three-game skid ended on Wednesday night in Vancouver as a Tyler Bertuzzi hat trick helped propel the Hawks to a 5-2 win over the Canucks.
Vancouver thought they had a 1-0 lead in the second period when Conor Garland scored, but a successful challenge from the Blackhawks confirmed that Garland pretty clearly cross-checked Spencer Knight prior to the goal, which was disallowed.

Remember when the Blackhawks lost to the Canucks at the United Center on Oct. 17 and the refs questionably took a would-be go-ahead goal away from Tyler Bertuzzi even after a lengthy review?
Puck don’t lie. Bertuzzi put together the fourth hat trick of his NHL career to lead a Blackhawks’ third period offensive explosion that ends the Canucks’ dominance of the Blackhawks in recent years.
The game started fast, with a back-and-forth first period ending without a score on either side. ...

Things are not working out for Steven Stamkos as a Nashville Predator. Like Seth Jones with the Chicago Blackhawks, it's starting to feel like the team is going to ask him to waive his no-movement clause, eat some salary in the deal, and move on. Stamkos has not been the same player as a Predator as he was in Tampa Bay. His shot totals are down, his goal totals are down, and last night, he finally scored his second goal of the season. It certainly feels like teams are starting to call GM Barry...
