This has come up a few times in the comments and on social media, so I think it’s worth addressing here for a moment. The thought that the Blackhawks “need to shoot the puck more” is lovely on the surface, and can be an appropriate discussion point at times. After the Colorado game? Sorry, that ain’t it.
Yes, the Blackhawks were overwhelmed in the second period. In case you missed it, the Avs have one regulation loss this season — and we’re into the final week of November! They’re really good. And they simply didn’t let the Hawks have the puck much in the second period. They tend to do that to people.
In the first and third periods? The Blackhawks had a shot attempt advantage of 46-25 at 5-on-5. They out-shot the Avs 21-7 in the first and third periods at even strength. Sometimes the shot totals in the box score don’t tell a full story. And sometimes watching the game and appreciating the activity on the ice around exclusively the “shots on goal” number in a vacuum gives better perspective.
With that being said, Spencer Knight was once again marvelous on Sunday evening. It’s a shame he lost that game because the work he did to keep the game close in the second period when the Hawks were chasing for a full 20 minutes was outstanding. I’ll say it again: Knight should be in strong consideration for the USA roster for the Winter Olympics. And I’ll just throw out there at this point: the last time a goalie spent an entire season with the Blackhawks and finished in the top ten of Vezina Trophy voting was Corey Crawford following the 2015-16 season. Crawford finished fifth that year. (Robin Lehner finished sixth following the 2019-20 season but he was traded to Vegas before COVID shut things down.) The Blackhawks surprised Connor Bedard with 100 apples in his locker after practice on Monday in celebration of him reaching 100 career assists.100 apples for Bedsy?? pic.twitter.com/2X06qTEweT
— Chicago Blackhawks (@NHLBlackhawks) November 24, 2025 André Burakovsky was on the ice in a non-contact jersey with Laurent Brossoit an hour before the rest of the Blackhawks practiced on Monday. Burakovsky stayed around the United Center for a bit after the game on Sunday to wish his former teammate and Avs captain Gabriel Landeskog a happy birthday. Teuvo Teräväinen or Matt Grzelcyk were off for maintenance on Monday. Sadly, Nick Foligno being out of the Blackhawks’ lineup means we won’t get a night before Thanksgiving battle between Nick and his brother, Marcus, with Minnesota in town. However… Nick and Marcus are competing for a great cause this season. The Foligno Face-Off has Nick and Marcus raising money for The V Foundation. According to the donor page, “Every donor is entered to win a one-of-a-kind Hockey Fights Cancer jersey signed by both brothers — plus a signed puck from your team’s Foligno.” So why not make a donation to help beat cancer — and give Nick bragging rights? Click here to support Team Nick! Blackhawks prospect Mason West was making the hockey podcast rounds on Monday. He dropped by both Spittin’ Chiclets and Morning Cuppa Hockey. Thankfully, the Minnesota kid admitted he’s a Bears fan — sorry Vikings!NHL AND NFL?? Could Mason West be the NHL’s Bo Jackson?! pic.twitter.com/Tsf15Q5xvT

His answer isn’t typical for a hockey player, but it’s damn near perfect.Presented by @ProrasoUSA #ShaveLikeAPro #Blackhawks pic.twitter.com/QRcBOxbJ3e
— Jonny Lazarus (@JLazzy23) November 24, 2025 Steve Ellis at Daily Faceoff wrote about five NHL prospects who are playing well thus far in Europe. No. 1 on his list: Blackhawks prospect Roman Kantserov, who enters the new week leading the KHL in goals. Anton Frondell received an honorable mention, just not making the top five. Here’s what Ellis wrote about Kantserov:Kantserov has been the most impressive prospect abroad this year, with the 21-year-old tracking for over 40 goals and 75 points. He was excellent a year ago with 38 points in 47 games, but he has taken things up a notch this year. There’s a legit chance Kantserov could finish as the KHL’s MVP – and given he’s eligible for an NHL contract this spring, the timing couldn’t be better.
The knock against Kantserov has always been his 5-foot-9 frame. While that hasn’t bothered him in Russia, it’s often a different story in the NHL. He was more of a playmaker a year ago, but has worked on putting more muscle behind his wrist shot – and it’s working. Still, he’ll need to bulk up to make it work in the NHL, but there’s some top-six potential here if he can make that happen.

— Daily Faceoff (@DailyFaceoff) November 24, 2025 We’ve had our eyes on the Brantford Bulldogs for a few years because the Blackhawks keep having prospects on their roster, a big trade going down on Monday morning. Marek Vanacker and Parker Holmes got a new teammate — who has NHL experience. The Bulldogs acquired Flyers prospect forward Jett Luchanko from the Guelph Storm. Wow! Finally, the Utah Mammoth were hosting their Hockey Fights Cancer night this weekend. Nick Olczyck, who is magnificent in the booth (and I can’t get over how much he sounds like his great father), was beginning to speak on the subject when he was surprised by Edzo. If you don’t cry watching this I don’t know what to tell ya. God bless the Olczyck family. And keep praying for Troy Murray.8 years ago, my Dad was diagnosed with Stage 3 Colon cancer and last night he gave me the surprise of a lifetime that will go down as one of my most cherished memories on #HockeyFightsCancer night To those battling cancer, You are not alone.
