Last night’s game got out of reach by the end of the second period. I was encouraged to see the Blackhawks sending their kid line of Oliver Moore, Ryan Greene and Nick Lardis over the boards frequently in the third period to get more experience.
In the third period, Moore skated 5:22. Greene skated 5:37. And Lardis skated 5:50. By the end of the night, Lardis led the Blackhawks with six shot attempts (three on net) and was also credited with three hits in 16:03. Moore put two shots on net and was credited with one hit in 15:05. And Greene was the Blackhawks’ most successful center at the dot, winning 8 of 15 faceoffs in 15:56.
When there are bad moments along the way, finding opportunities for those guys to get experience is important. And they showed more in the third period than they had as a unit in a few games.
Good read here from Pope on Moore before last night’s game. He’s been used in a lot of different ways on his journey to where he is in the NHL today. Minnesota used him in both defensive roles and as a top-line offensive producer. At the World Juniors, he was a defensive player at times as well. He’s seen more of that in the NHL than he did in Rockford. That’s an adjustment he’s learning through right now.
The Blackhawks need more from Oliver Moore, who has just 1 point in 10 games — despite a speedy showing last night.But also they need to give him more.“My role on the team — call it as it is — is not as [offensive] as it was in Rockford.”New story: t.co/ScaZ5ZuSmI
— Ben Pope (@BenPopeCST) December 28, 2025 The Blackhawks activated captain Nick Foligno off IR before the game on Sunday. Frank Nazar was officially placed on IR to make room for Foligno. Foligno scored the Blackhawks’ first goal of the night. Ilya Mikheyev was still out of the lineup to be with his family. Connor Murphy had two assists and dropped the gloves last night. He also appeared in his 525th career game for the Blackhawks, which moves him past Jeremy Roenick into 38th place all-time for the franchise. Next on the list: Alexei Zhamnov (528) and then Marian Hossa (534). The Blackhawks only had one prospect in action at the World Juniors. Anton Frondell had the second assist on Viggo Björck’s game-tying goal early in the third period. Sweden won the game 4-2. Frondell has three points in two games. All three Blackhawks prospects will be in action at the World Juniors today! Here’s the schedule: Sweden vs. Germany — 12 PM CT Finland vs. Czechia — 2:30 PM USA vs. Slovakia — 5 PM The OHL returned to action on Sunday. Blackhawks prospect Marek Vanacker wasted no time getting back on the board, scoring his league-leading 27th goal of the year in the second period for Brantford. Parker Holmes added an assist in the third period.Some Marek magic gets us started ? Vanacker walks in and snipes it for his league-leading 27th goal on the year #BFD | #BlackHawks t.co/vzpPVjtCqn pic.twitter.com/kk7NDuhbPZ

He recorded a hat trick — the second three-goal performance from a Blackhawks prospect in as many days since the CHL leagues came back from their respective Christmas breaks.#Blackhawks prospect Jack Pridham's third goal tonight for @OHLRangers was a short-hander into the empty cage Pridham is now tied for the @OHLHockey lead with four short-handed goals this season pic.twitter.com/RvDr8SpiRL

— Bleacher Nation Blackhawks (@BN_Blackhawks) December 29, 2025 The Minnesota Wild acquired forward (and Blackhawks legend) Boris Katchouk from the Tampa Bay Lightning in exchange for forward Michael Milne. The Ottawa Senators announced goaltender Linus Ullmark is taking a leave of absence from the team to deal with personal matters. Because the Blackhawks need a team to get a good/great goalie back in time to face them, it looks like there’s a chance the Islanders get Ilya Sorokin back for Tuesday night. Yippee!Roy says Sorokin will practice on Monday and then they'll see about his availability vs. #Blackhawks on Tuesday (@IslesMSGN) #Isles

Because I played football in college with his dad, I’m selfishly rooting for Austin Booker to do well with the Bears. He had a nice game last night.Love seeing Austin Booker get ACTIVE on a Sunday! pic.twitter.com/zTb3Zd8oV1
