FINAL SCORE!

Credit to the Blackhawks for rebounding from a terrible opening period and hanging with the back-to-back champs. A lot of teachable moments tonight. Postgame Musings coming soon.

Weekes impressed Murphy didn't back down from Bennett. Have you never watched Murphy play before?

Great teams make plays like that.

This would be a great time to get the power play clicking.

A very good response after an ugly opening frame. Somehow, the Blackhawks are even going into the 3rd, with a chance to steal this one.

Man, Bedard just undressed Jones.

The Blackhawks have settled down here in the 2nd period. They look much calmer and aren't trying to do everything at Mach 10 speed.

Blackhawk Up Roundtable: 2025-26 Blackhawks season predictions The 2025-26 Chicago Blackhawks season is upon us, and the Blackhawk Up staff has given their predictions for the upcoming year.

My bold prediction for the season was Teuvo Teravainen setting a new career high in points. He's on pace for 246 points. Just saying.....

Ok. Good response. Now win the next shift.

Time to make declarations about young players after one period against the back-to-back champs. πŸ™„

5v5 stats are as ugly as you’d imagine
Shot attempts: 10-27
Shots on goal: 3-12
Scoring chances: 4-14
High-danger scoring chances: 1-6

The Blackhawks are fortunate only to be down one. Let’s see how Blashill gets these guys to respond in the 2nd.

Not a bad tilt for the gray beard captain. Let's see if it has the desired effect.

We'll always have Frank Nazar's goal......

After rewatching the play, Grzelcyk had Kunin along the boards. Lafferty should have helped out down low.

Not Artyom Levshunov's greatest period of hockey.

This has been a problem for the last few years. Giving up a goal right after scoring one. I have no idea what Grzelcyk was doing on that play.

Frank Nazar's breakout season begins with a bang!

They might stop shouting "Night" during the anthem after that save.

Good 4th line shift, all made possible by Greene winning the draw.

No SOG on the ESPN scorebug? Lame

Vlasic will not play tonight, expected to be back for Boston.

I mean, making a better movie would help the box office. Nobody wants to see a boring remake of a documentary that contains nothing new.
