The Islanders wake up still in second place in the Metro after the Capitals lost in regulation to Florida last night.

We haven't heard his name much at all on the rumor mill this year, but with the Chicago Blackhawks ' recent tumble to the bottom of the standings, Tyler Bertuzzi is now starting to make the rounds. Insider Elliotte Friedman suggested on The Fan Hockey Show on Monday that the Hawks could look to solidify themselves in the running for a top draft pick in 2026, by trading off a high-producing veteran. Chicago has lost six of their seven games since Connor Bedard went down to injury (and the...

Even though the Blackhawks played back-to-back days coming out of the Christmas break, they still practices on Monday. And… there was a lot going on. Some good news right out of the gate: Connor Bedard was on the ice before the rest of his teammates. He did not shoot the puck, but was skating and doing some puck handling stuff. Blackhawks head coach Jeff Blashill said there is no change to Bedard’s timeline; he’ll still be evaluated after the calendar flips to 2026. But he was on the ice ...

With three nights off last week, we didn’t have as many games as usual this week. That means that our rankings won’t move all that much from last time. And more importantly, it means fewer opportunities to learn anything new. That’s bad news for me, because there are a handful of teams where I need all the information I can get, because I just can’t figure them out. I’m not clueless about absolutely everyone. I know that the Avalanche are good, and that the Blackhawks are bad, and that all of ...

So there is that to hang your hat on. It was a much-needed win for the Penguins, and one that they quite frankly should have […]

Last night’s game got out of reach by the end of the second period. I was encouraged to see the Blackhawks sending their kid line of Oliver Moore, Ryan Greene and Nick Lardis over the boards frequently in the third period to get more experience. In the third period, Moore skated 5:22. Greene skated 5:37. And Lardis skated 5:50. By the end of the night, Lardis led the Blackhawks with six shot attempts (three on net) and was also credited with three hits in 16:03. Moore put two shots on net...

Blackhawks head coach Jeff Blashill burned his timeout 8:20 into the first period to tear his team a new… attitude… with the scoreboard already showing the Penguins leading by three. One fluky goal and a couple mediocre scores later and the Hawks coaches were not happy. The Blackhawks got a power play after the timeout, did nothing with it, and the Penguins scored again. Out went Spencer Knight . In came Arvid Söderblom . The Blackhawks were able to get on the board in the second period, ...

The Blackhawks won a huge game coming out of the break in Dallas last night. But that game required a shootout — before they could fly home and grab a few hours of sleep before hosting Sidney Crosby and the Penguins tonight. As I mentioned in our bullets this morning, Darren Pang said on the broadcast last night there is a chance the Blackhawks get their captain back for tonight’s game. Without a morning skate, we’ll have to wait and see what the lineup looks like during warmups. I’m goin...

Fresh off the snapping of a six-game losing streak, the Hawks are back home on Sunday night to host the Pittsburgh Penguins. Somehow, in the year 2025, a preview involving this Pittsburgh franchises still requires writing the names Sidney Crosby, Evgeni Malkin and Kris Letang, as all three remain key contributors for the team despite Crosby and Letang being 38 and Malkin being 39. Perhaps that reliance on older players — don’t forget about 35-year-old Erik Karlsson, either — also explains...

When the Blackhawks selected forward Nathan Behm in the third round (No. 66 overall) in the 2025 NHL Draft, I was intrigued. He was a prospect going into the draft that some analysts thought had the potential to be an early second round pick. In his pre-draft season, Behm scored 31 goals with 35 assists in 56 games for a team that wasn’t in the playoff race. When he slid in the draft, it was surprising. And I was excited the Blackhawks selected him. The more highlights I watched and ...

Let’s talk a little more about last night’s exciting 4-3 shootout win in Dallas . Nick Lardis only skated 10:16 in regulation and overtime, during which he was credited with two shots on net, one (big, timely) blocked shot and three hits. When the Blackhawks called his name to be the fourth shooter in the skills competition with a chance to win the game, he came thru against one of the best goalies in the league.

The Blackhawks didn’t skate until they warmed up on the ice in Dallas since losing to the Flyers. And they were facing one of the best teams in the league. So… yeah. Odds weren’t in their favor. But they played a really good first period. Chicago took the lead 3:20 into the first period and I’m not sure Arvid Söderblom ever saw the shot that tied the game almost eight minutes later. The Hawks had an 8-4 advantage in scoring chances and 3-2 advantage in high danger chances at 5-on-5 thru 20 min...
