Assigning patience the label of a virtue never seemed to make sense in the world of professional sports, because it seems to go against every instinct associated with the sport. We use the word “playmaker” in damn near every sport that exists and the literal translation of it has nothing to do with waiting around for something to happen: it’s about making it happen.
And that may be the hardest part of this whole rebuild/tanking/whatever we’re calling it that the Blackhawks have been doing...

The Chicago Blackhawks went to overtime for the third time in four games on Monday night. But this time, the Hawks ended the night with a victory: 3-2 over the Utah Mammoth.
Near the middle of the first period, Barrett Hayton opened up the scoring after the Blackhawks turned the puck over following a faceoff win. Hayton tipped in Nick DeSimone’s shot from the point.

The Chicago Blackhawks host the Utah Mammoth on Monday night as the two play for their second of three meetings in March.
The Blackhawks last played the Mammoth on March 1, which was also the last time the Hawks won a game ( a 4-0 shutout win for Arvid Soderblom ). Utah made a large splash ahead of the trade deadline by trading for defenseman MacKenzie Weegar, sending Olli Maatta, forward prospect Jonathan Castagna, and three second-round picks in the 2026 draft to the Calgary Flames in r...

The Chicago Blackhawks forced overtime with their first 6-on-5 goal of the season, but the comeback ultimately fell short as they lost 4-3 when the Dallas Stars scored just 22 seconds into the extra frame.
The Blackhawks got the scoring going with two goals in the first half of the opening frame. First, at 6:59, Tyler Bertuzzi redirected Artyom Levshunov’s shot for a tip-in goal, putting the Blackhawks up 1-0.

The Chicago Blackhawks are in Dallas on Sunday night to take on the Stars for the third and final time this season.
Not much has changed for the Stars in the standings since the Blackhawks last saw them on Jan. 1: they remain second in the Central Division behind the Colorado Avalanche, with the Minnesota Wild still lurking close behind. Where things have changed is under the hood. Dallas has improved noticeably in its shot metrics over the past two months, moving from 31st to 26th in sho...

In a team statement on Saturday morning, the Blackhawks announced the death of former player and broadcaster Troy Murray. He was 63 years old.

The Vancouver Canucks snapped a nine-game losing streak on the road with a 6-3 win over the Chicago Blackhawks on Friday night at the United Center. While the game wasn’t as dreadful as the score suggests, let’s recap this very winnable game for the Hawks.
Ryan Donato opened up scoring just over a minute into the game after collecting his own dump-in.

The Chicago Blackhawks return to the United Center on Friday night following a four-game road trip (five if you count before the Olympic break) and host the Vancouver Canucks.
The Canucks sit dead last in the standings with an 18-36-7 record (good enough for a whopping 43 points). As the Canucks deal with the existential crisis of committing to a rebuild, a 1-7-2 record in their last 10 games has slid by, including losses in their last three games. With the trade deadline dominating headl...

Over the last few days, it certainly seemed like Nick Foligno was going to be traded at some point before the deadline, but the destination was the real mystery. That question was answered on Friday morning when reports surfaced that the veteran forward was headed to the Minnesota Wild.
The Chicago Blackhawks confirmed the move shortly after the initial reports:

Chicago was back on the practice ice on Thursday ahead of Friday’s home game against Vancouver, with some lineup shuffles occurring after a couple of trades this week.
Those shuffles were also required due to the apparent return of Wyatt Kaiser, who was injured just before the Olympic break and hadn’t played since Chicago returned to game action last week. But he was a full participant at Thursday’s practice, skating opposite Sam Rinzel. The forwards were also moved around now that neithe...

Seems like the Chicago Blackhawks aren’t done dealing with the Edmonton Oilers.
After sending Connor Murphy north on Monday, reports now indicate the Blackhawks are shipping out Jason Dickinson and Colton Dach to Edmonton as well. Because when you find a trade partner, you might as well keep the line open, right?
In return, the Blackhawks are receiving Andrew Mangiapane and a protected 2027 first-round pick from the Oilers. Half of Dickinson’s salary will also be retained. The team c...

The Blackhawks will conclude their post-Olympics road trip on Tuesday night in Winnipeg when it takes on the Jets.
These two teams met at the United Center in mid-January, with much of the focus that evening on former Hawks captain Jonathan Toews playing in his first game in Chicago as an opponent. The Hawks won that game 2-0 and much of what was discussed regarding Winnipeg in the preview for that game still holds true. The Jets are still 10 points behind a playoff spot and have just 23 ...
