A couple random nuggets from Blackhawks history to start out first full week of August: in the history of the organ-I-zation, 35 skaters have appeared in exactly one game. Only two — Jim McBurney and Michael Paliotta — registered a point in their single appearance. McBurney had one assist (on a Sid Abel goal) in a 4-2 win over the Maple Leafs on Feb. 7, 1953. Paliotta, a third-round pick in the 2011 NHL Draft, picked up his one assist (on a Patrick Sharp goal) in 3-2 loss at the Colorado Avalanche on April 11, 2015.
In the history of the Blackhawks, 15 goalies have appeared in exactly one game, a list that includes such legends as Anton Khudobin, Carter Hutton and, yes, Scott Foster. The only netminder to earn a win in his only appearance for the Blackhawks is Bill Dickie, who got a 4-3 decision at the Montreal Forum against the Canadiens on Feb. 5, 1942.
In the history of the Blackhawks, 19 players have worn the jersey number 1. It was retired for Glenn Hall — on the same night as Tony Esposito’s No. 35 — on Nov. 20, 1988. However, since Hall retired, eight other Blackhawks wore No. 1 before it was retired. The last to wear it: Ed Belfour, during the same 1988-89 season that it was retired. The Eagle changed numbers when it was placed in the rafters. Fun write-up on Belfour’s number history from my guy Sal Barry at PuckJunk here. Ben Pope over that the Chicago Sun-Times took a run at a lineup for the Blackhawks to start the regular season. It’s quite different from the lines and pairs I threw out there almost a full month ago. He does not have Sam Lafferty, Lukas Reichel or Oliver Moore in his forward lines. And he does not have Kevin Korchinski or Nolan Allan among the six defensemen making up his three pairs. Again, things will be a work-in-progress until the regular season roster is officially set, but a fun lineup to consider.The Blackhawks are going to be a young team this season, especially on defense.New story projecting what the lines and pairings might look like come Opening Night: t.co/tQiE0Sz5cQ
— Ben Pope (@BenPopeCST) August 3, 2025 While we’re on the subject of projecting rosters, Chris Peters did just that for the USA roster that will try to defend their championship(s) at the World Juniors this winter. After the World Junior Summer Showcase in Minnesota over the past week, there was an opportunity to see some guys for the US and Canada who might have been fighting for roster spots either show well or not necessarily help their case. The good news for Blackhawks fans is Peters thinks the US will keep together a fourth line that was pretty good at the Showcase this past week. That line was Blackhawks prospect AJ Spellacy with Shane Vansaghi and Will Horcoff — a big, physical line with Spellacy skating with a couple Big Ten guys. I like it. Hopefully the USA decision makers will see it the same way.There is a long way to go to the World Juniors, but I thought the WJSS left more questions than answers for Team USA. Here's my projected 2026 WJC roster based on WJSS and body of work to t.co/adbNEoz8DQ
— Chris Peters (@chrismpeters) August 3, 2025 There are nine remaining restricted free agents in the NHL, including Blackhawks defenseman Wyatt Kaiser. Now that the calendar has flipped to August, it’s starting to get close enough to training camps opening that something has to give. While I’m not saying we’re going to have a flurry of trades this week, I do expect there to be some action around the league this month as teams continue to sort out their rosters. There are a couple forwards on the list — Mason McTavish and Alexander Holtz — who I would at least check in with at some point if I was in the Blackhawks’ front office. McTavish would cost more than Holtz, who might not be in the long-term plans in Vegas after getting traded out of Jersey.With all the NHL’s arbitration-eligible players reaching resolution with prior to a hearing, only nine RFA cases remain unsolved heading into August.@lukefoxjukebox takes a look at the names to watch in the coming weeks. t.co/NQx6yg7ujs
