The Blackhawks continue their home-heavy portion of their schedule in the back half of November on Thursday night, hosting the Seattle Kraken at the United Center.
These two teams met a few weeks ago in the Pacific Northwest during a Hawks’ road trip, with the Kraken taking a 3-1 victory in a game that saw the Hawks turn in a decent performance despite that unfortunate result. Chicago seemed to have the better of the scoring opportunities in that game, but Seattle always seemed to have a ...

The Chicago Blackhawks handed the Toronto Maple Leafs their fifth straight loss with a 3–2 win on Saturday night at the United Center.
The Blackhawks got on the board first at 11:05 in the first period. Artyom Levshunov weaved his way around traffic before dishing cross-ice to Ryan Greene, who buried it from the bottom of the circle.

The Chicago Blackhawks are set to continue their four-game homestand as they welcome the Toronto Maple Leafs to the United Center Saturday night.
The Toronto Maple Leafs’ season has mostly been a familiar cocktail of high-octane offense, questionable decision-making in their own zone, and a fan base oscillating nightly between parade planning and existential dread. They hovered in that “they should probably be better than this” section of the standings early on, but recently the Maple Lea...

I know it’s been several days since it happened, but my mind still keeps venturing back to how delightful it was to spend a Sunday afternoon watching a couple of young stars do the things that Connor Bedard and Caleb Williams did last weekend. It wasn’t long after the final horn sounded on yet another multi-point performance from No. 98 that Williams reeled off a pair of late touchdowns to secure yet another Bears victory.
It’s easy to draw comparisons between the two, even if their sport...

There was a hat trick scored at the United Center on Wednesday night but it wasn’t by anyone on the home team or anyone you’d expect from the road team, but it led to the New Jersey Devils skating away with both points in a 4-3 OT victory.
Late in the first period, a pair of NJ penalties gave Chicago a two-man advantage and a long sequence of sustained pressure ended with this Connor Bedard one-timer for a goal:

The Blackhawks return home from a largely successful road trip to find one of the league’s early front-runners waiting for them, as the New Jersey Devils will be Chicago’s opponent for a national broadcast from the United Center on Wednesday night.
