Evaluating the Blackhawks last-minute forward line changes headed into the 2026-27 season (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Chicago Blackhawks’ head coach Jeff Blashill threw all of us a curve ball when he hit the lineblender on Monday (Sept. 28), the last practice before the team departed for Las Vegas and their opening night date with the Vegas Golden Knights. Because of these changes, my analysis of the top six forwards from a few days ago has become somewhat obsolete. Or has it? It’s obvious the Blackhawks are still in a state of flux as they try to determine the best deployment of their forward group, among many
Blackhawks preseason storylines revisited: Projected defensive pairings headed into the 2026-27 season (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Training camp is in the books for the Chicago Blackhawks, and they start games for real on Sept. 29 versus the Vegas Golden Knights. We found out on Sunday that the team put forward Landon Slaggert on waivers, meaning they intend to carry eight defensemen to start the 2026-27 campaign. As we continue to follow up on storylines to watch in training camp, let’s take a look at the projected defensive pairings for the start of the season.

The Chicago Blackhawks are nearing the end of a very short training camp, due to the new rules in the collective bargaining agreement. This shortened camp had its drawbacks, and many storylines are left somewhat unresolved. But one thing that certainly seems set is the configuration of the top-six forwards to start the season. Keep in mind that these forward lines do not include Connor Bedard, who is unable to start the season due to shoulder surgery in the offseason. As we follow up on storylin
Byram nets hat trick in Blackhawks 4-3 OT win over the Wild in 1st preseason game at the United Center (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The Chicago Blackhawks hosted the the Minnesota Wild at the United Center in their second exhibition game of the preseason on Monday, Sept. 21. It was the first time the NHL regulars took to the ice, as the AHL group played in Minnesota on Sept. 19. All in all it was a productive outing, and the Blackhawks came away with an 4-3 overtime win. Patrick Kane did not suit up for this contest, and Teuvo Teravainen slotted into his spot on the top line. Spencer Knight started in net, with Drew Commesso
