The Blackhawks will be without the two young centerpieces of their rebuild for the next while, but they might be getting their captain back off injured reserve in time for their last game before Christmas.
Nick Foligno was a full participant in practice on Monday and looks to be back in the lineup when the Blackhawks host the Philadelphia Flyers on Tuesday night. Blackhawks head coach Jeff Blashill was not at practice on Monday , but assistant coach Mike Vellucci said they’ll determine if...

The Blackhawks were off yesterday, things are bad here, and the Blackhawks don’t play again until tomorrow. So I want to start our Monday with some respect for an all-time great making history on Sunday. Sidney Crosby had two points on Sunday. The second, an assist on a power-play goal by Rickard Rakell at 12:40 of the first period, gave him 1,724 points (645 goals, 1,079 assists).
That’s one point more than Mario Lemieux, and now the most points in Pittsburgh Penguins history.

The Chicago Blackhawks can't catch a break at the moment as their roster is in shambles due to freak accidents. First Connor Bedard separated his shoulder on a faceoff with less than a second left in the game, and now Frank Nazar is going to be out a month after getting hit in the face with the puck. The play happened during Saturday's 6-4 loss to the Ottawa Senators. Nazar was struck with a Jordan Spence shot barely five minutes into the game. He went immediately to the dressing room and did ...

With news that Frank Nazar is expected to miss four weeks because of the injury he suffered in Saturday afternoon’s loss , the Blackhawks are now in an incredibly tough spot. They were already struggling to create offense without Connor Bedard . Now, their two most dynamic offensive players are going to miss an extended period of time.
The good news: Nick Lardis found the back of the net on Saturday. His first career NHL goal showed off the hands that make him an exciting prospect for the...

If Arvid Söderblom wants to quite the calls for Laurent Brossoit to see some run with the Blackhawks at some point, he needs to have better games than he did today. The first goal wasn’t great. He allowed another two that were waived off, and — for a team that was playing without their two best offensive players — he needs to stop a few of the goals he allowed this afternoon.
The Blackhawks were able to tie the game three times in the second period, and they needed those goals. Söderblom ...

After the Blackhawks got shut down in Montreal, I dug into some numbers and threw out some potential lineup tweaks to help the Hawks generate more offense. A few hours later, the Blackhawks took the ice for practice in Montreal and the lines were fairly close to what I wrote.
Because this is an early afternoon puck drop, there won’t be a morning skate. The lines below are what the Blackhawks skated at practice. We’ll have to wait and see if there are any changes during warm-ups.

Ben Pope at the Chicago Sun-Times wrote a really good piece on Friday after a lengthy conversation with Blackhawks general manager Kyle Davidson. The focus of this story was the Blackhawks’ goaltending situation.
Davidson told Pope they’re still committed to Arvid Söderblom as the NHL back-up. “There’s no real discussion at this point to making any change. We just have to be a little more consistent in front of him.” But behind Spencer Knight and Söderblom is a mess right now.

On the heels of a disappointing performance against the Philadelphia Flyers, the Montreal Canadiens were back on home ice for a Thursday night tilt with the Chicago Blackhawks. With the visitors missing their best player in Connor Bedard, the Habs found themselves with an excellent opportunity to get a win in their own building, which hasn’t been the easiest place for them to do that. Beating Chicago with the exact score they lost by two nights prior, they got a much-needed boost of confidence...

The Blackhawks have now played (and lost) three games without Connor Bedard in the lineup. In those three games, the Blackhawks have been outscored 11-3. And they’re averaging only 22 shots on goal per game.
Obviously losing Bedard takes their most important, productive player out of the lineup. But the Blackhawks have been searching for combinations on lines without Bedard to consistently create offense for longer than he’s been out.
The Blackhawks were able to do some good things e...

I mentioned in my postgame takeaways that the kinds line of Oliver Moore, Ryan Greene and Nick Lardis had a tough night at the office. Together, the line had a 36.93 expected goals percentage (according to Natural Stat Trick ). When the Blackhawks practice in Montreal later today, it sounds like the coaches might look at mixing things up with their forwards to try to find some offense — and the kids line might get broken up.
“They struggled tonight, to be dead honest with you,” Blashill...

First period
The crowd is behind the team early trying to inspire a good start.
The Habs look eager to give them one. Hopefully not too eager because that’s often when the problems start.
Ivan Demidov pulls the puck past his defender to get in on net, but is pushed down before he can get a good backhand off. Moments later a ping rings throughout the Bell Centre as Josh Anderson tips Adam Engström’s point shot off the post.

It took 4:07 for this game to have a shot on net credited. The shot came from Alex Vlasic — and it went in. But, after review, it was ruled there was goaltender interference (which took the shot on net and the goal off the board). At that point, we got just the second faceoff in the game. The Blackhawks did score first, but the Habs were able to answer seven minutes later. The Blackhawks were officially out-shot 7-2 in the first but were tied 1-1 after 20 minutes.
