Blackhawks need to be more decisive, make better reads to improve transition defense (opens the original)
Read excerpt
SALT LAKE CITY — It’s tempting to overreact to a sample of data one game into every season. The Blackhawks spent Wednesday trying to avoid doing that — and instead learn tangible lessons from their mistakes — after getting buzzed 5-2 on Tuesday by the Golden Knights in Las Vegas. ‘‘They’re a very good team, very experienced, and I think they had a better start than us,’’ defenseman Alex Vlasic said. ‘‘We have a lot better. Everyone in here [does].’’ Said coach Jeff Blashill: ‘‘Usually when you w
Blackhawks' defense shredded by Golden Knights in season-opening loss (opens the original)
Read excerpt
LAS VEGAS — The Blackhawks’ popularity worked against them for scheduling purposes yet again this year, with the NHL handing them a brutal road trip to start the season. A stacked, motivated Golden Knights team gave the Hawks very little opportunity to ease into the regular season Tuesday. But the Hawks also gave the Knights very little difficulty in a 5-2 loss. For the Hawks, the good news was they improved in each period. The bad news was they went from awful to bad to OK. “We shouldn’t be sat
Why Teuvo Teravainen is healthy scratch for Blackhawks' opening game (opens the original)

LAS VEGAS — Teuvo Teravainen will enter the final year of his three-year contract with the Blackhawks as a healthy scratch on opening night.

Will the fun part of Blackhawks' rebuild finally arrive this season? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
It has been 17 months since I wrote, in April 2025, that the “fun part of the Blackhawks’ rebuild” was about to begin. I equated it to watching a coming-of-age movie play out in real life. Yes, the team was slightly more competitive last season, stirring up a little hope for a couple months before fading back into the basement. It was certainly more interesting for fans to follow. And yes, Hawks players claimed they had fun last season, which makes sense for a group of guys in their early 20s wh
Analyzing Blackhawks' surprising forward lines, defensive pairings to open season (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Blackhawks coach Jeff Blashill pulled a surprise Monday — in the team’s final practice before their season opener Tuesday — by mixing up the top three forward lines. It’s a bold move, considering he deployed a different set of lines consistently throughout training camp. “Ultimately, we hadn’t gotten enough out of the three lines with the combinations we had used,” Blashill said. He added he’s not too concerned about the lack of practice time with these new lines, which were seemingly influenced
