Let’s start with where the game began last night. I made Wayne Messmer my No. 1 star in my postgame thoughts last night because the Blackhawks weren’t great (got shutout). But that was truly a great moment. The Blackhawks are really doing a great job with their Centennial celebration, but not everything you would love to see celebrated can be possible. One of the things I didn’t think was possible was Messmer coming back to a Blackhawks game to sing the anthem. Last night, he did — right next to the old organ in the balcony like it was back in the day.

Patrick Kane on United Center anthem: "I don't know if I kind of forgot how it was or you take it for granted but the national anthem was incredible. It was really loud tonight. I don't know if that's how it always is or if I forgot but that gets you going right away."… t.co/fznYddDYwz pic.twitter.com/isa05DSHpi
— Charlie Roumeliotis (@CRoumeliotis) December 14, 2025 Nick Lardis made his NHL debut last night. He got things started with a bucketless rookie lap. Once the game began, Lardis looked increasingly comfortable out there. He admitted after the game that early on he was a little starstruck with Kane and Alex DeBrincat on the other side. Lardis tried to generate offense but, like his teammates, wasn’t able to finish. I liked what I saw, and head coach Jeff Blashill liked his game as well.welcome to the NHL, Nick Lardis pic.twitter.com/TKB08SmUWr

Last year, when the Blackhawks recalled Frank Nazar, he had 24 points (11 goals, 13 assists) in 21 games with the IceHogs. He got the call on December 13. This year, Nick Lardis comes up on… December 13. And Lardis has 26 points (13 goals, 13 assists) in 24 games with Rockford.Frank Nazar had a fun little fact about Nick Lardis' recall from Rockford. It occurred on the same day, Dec. 13, as Nazar's did last season.

After the game last night, Blashill confirmed he does not anticipate Bedard being on the upcoming trip with the team. We should get a more formal update on Monday.On Saturday Headlines tonight, @FriedgeHNIC says Connor Bedard had an MRI today and will not go on the Blackhawks’ upcoming Canadian road trip as the team continues to evaluate him( @Sportsnet) pic.twitter.com/3WgGRPx2YM

— BHF (@BlackhawksFocus) December 14, 2025 Terrific read from Steven Ellis at Daily Faceoff on Marek Vanacker‘s late invite to Hockey Canada’s camp to set their World Juniors roster. Vanacker skated on the left side of Canada’s fourth line at practice on Saturday (per Scott Wheeler).I asked Canadian #WorldJuniors coach Dale Hunter if having #Blackhawks' Marek Vanacker on his team is more fun than facing off against him."Oh, definitely," he said, with a big smile.My story on Vanacker trying to prove himself at Canada's camp: t.co/JAbZJp3c6I
— Steven Ellis (@SEllisHockey) December 13, 2025 The Vancouver Canucks put Lukas Reichel on waivers yesterday. Please, for the love of everything sacred, please do not ask if the Blackhawks should put in a claim. The Blackhawks tried to trade Reichel for almost two years. They sent him to Vancouver for almost nothing — and the Canucks overpaid. We’ve seen Reichel. We know him. Thinking about this should last about as long as a fart in a hurricane. Let’s stick with the Canucks for a moment, however. Pierre LeBrun at The Athletic got all of the good inside dirt on how the Quinn Hughes trade went down. He reports the teams that were apparently involved in the bidding were the Devils, Red Wings, Rangers, and “to some degree,” Carolina and Buffalo. Terrific reporting here. LeBrun also reports the “Flyers were among the teams that kicked tires but didn’t get to the next level.”New for @TheAthletic: Behind the Quinn Hughes trade: Who was in on the Canucks star, and what execs think of the deal t.co/hgjlnFlwF7

In the college ranks, Sacha Boisvert scored this goal for Boston University on an emotional night for the Terriers.

In the OHL last night, Parker Holmes had one assist but Peterborough beat Brantford 5-3. Jack Pridham got Kitchener on the board early. Almost ten minutes later, Pridham scored his second of the night. He scored his third of the night on the power play for the first hat trick of his OHL career. Kitchener won the game 5-4 in a shootout. Here are his three goals (in order).PRIDS GETS A STICK ON IT #RTown | #BattleBuilt | #Blackhawks t.co/2Y1VAsIJ7O pic.twitter.com/mCdhDIKSQN
