The Blackhawks blew a three-goal lead and ultimately lost 4-3 in the shootout to the Minnesota Wild on Tuesday night in St. Paul.
Everything started off well enough for the Hawks, as Teuvo scored just over a minute into his first game back from injury for a quick 1-0 Chicago lead:

Game Preview
The Hawks are up north this evening for a Central Division matchup against the Minnesota Wild.
Minnesota’s been one of the league’s biggest surprises through the first half-ish of the season, sitting fifth in the league standings with 68 points in 53 games (29-14-10). The Wild surged in late 2025 with seven-game winning streaks in both November and December that would’ve sent them to the top of the division were it not for the absurd pace being maintained by the league-leading Avalanche. ...

The Chicago Blackhawks saw their point streak snap Sunday night, unceremoniously falling 5–1 to the Florida Panthers at the United Center.
After a scoreless first period, the Panthers opened the scoring 15:33 into the second. Following a faceoff win by Cole Schwindt, Tobias Bjornfot circled around the back of the net and tucked in a wraparound at the right post to make it 1-0 Florida.

The Chicago Blackhawks host the defending Stanley Cup champion Florida Panthers on Sunday night at the United Center.
The Panthers season has been a bit of a roller coaster: a sluggish start out of the gate put them behind the curve early, they stabilized into something resembling a competent team for a stretch, then dipped again into inconsistency before finally showing some signs of life recently. After going 6-4-0 in their last 10 games and riding a modest two-game win streak — includi...
The Chicago Blackhawks were under siege most of the night but pushed the Tampa Bay Lightning to the shootout and ultimately fell 2–1 on Friday night, picking up their third point out of a possible four on a back-to-back weekend.
The Blackhawks opened the scoring with 2:18 left in the first period on the power play. A quick pass from Oliver Moore along the left-wing boards and a subtle touch pass by Nick Lardis sent Ryan Greene skating into the slot, where he snapped a wrister into the net...

Fresh off an exciting win in Carolina on Thursday night, the Blackhawks return to the United Center for a second game in as many nights against a top team from the Eastern Conference. This time, it’s the Tampa Bay Lightning.
The Lightning have spent the past few months reminding everyone that writing them off too early is usually a bad idea. After a slow start and dealing with a pile of early-season injuries, Tampa Bay has surged into second place in a wildly packed Atlantic Division (.68...

Regulation and overtime weren’t enough to decide a winner, but the Blackhawks used the shootout to pick up both points in a 4-3 win over the Carolina Hurricanes on Thursday night in Raleigh.
Just after the midpoint of the first period, Chicago went ahead 1-0 when a solo effort from Ilya Mikheyev resulted in a shorthanded goal:

A stretch of games against top-tier opponents for the Hawks begins on Thursday night in Raleigh against the Carolina Hurricanes.
In the last seven seasons, Carolina has typically resided near the top of the league standings and has made a trio of conference final appearances — but they haven’t been able to clear that last hurdle just yet. This season continues the regular-season portion of that trend, with the Hurricanes all alone atop the Metro with 66 points in 50 games (31-15-4), well ...

The Blackhawks were back to practice on Wednesday and looked as close to full health as they have in a few months.
Part of that was Andre Burakovsky’s return from an illness that sidelined him on Monday night against Winnipeg, but the biggest step in that direction was Frank Nazar’s full participation in practice, suggesting he’ll play for the first time in a month when the Hawks visit the Hurricanes on Thursday night.
Frank Nazar said he feels ready to go after being out since Dec. ...

Spencer Knight delivered a 32-save shutout and the Chicago Blackhawks ended their three-game losing streak with a 2-0 win over the Winnipeg Jets on Monday night at the United Center.
After a scoreless first period, the Blackhawks finally broke through at 13:21 of the second. Ryan Donato flipped a long pass to a streaking Jason Dickinson, who settled the bouncing puck in the offensive zone and slipped a wrist shot between Connor Hellebuyck’s pads to make it 1-0.

Game Preview
The Blackhawks close out their four-game homestand on Monrday against the Winnipeg Jets, hoping to snap a recent skid and return to the win column.
The Jets’ season has unraveled after a decent start. Winnipeg won seven of its first 10 games but have watched things steadily slide downhill since. The Jets are currently 31st in the league standings, and the underlying numbers explain why: a 48.16 percent shot-attempt share at 5-on-5 (24th in the NHL) and a 46.67 percent expected goals share...
