On February 23, 2017, the Chicago Blackhawks beat the Arizona Coyotes 6-3. Patrick Kane scored a goal in each period for a hat trick. Jonathan Toews had two assists. Nick Schmaltz, skating on his 21st birthday, had a goal and an assist and Corey Crawford made 34 saves. And Connor Murphy, who was about five weeks shy of his 23rd birthday, skated 19:42 for the Yotes.
Sometimes you remember random box scores more than others for specific reasons. I remember the Blackhawks beating the Coyotes on February 23, 2017, because that was the first night I fell asleep watching a Hawks game on television as a father. My oldest son turns 19 today. Happy birthday, Matt!
Good read here from Ben Pope on Colton Dach trying to earn minutes in the lineup the rest of the way before he hits restricted free agency this summer.Colton Dach's job security in the Blackhawks' lineup has dwindled after a promising start.As a pending RFA, he could use a strong closing stretch."[I’m] trying to be trustworthy, trying to get a little more ice time."New story: t.co/BY36yk7AqC
— Ben Pope (@BenPopeCST) February 22, 2026 Newly signed goaltender Olivier Rodrigue cleared waivers and was assigned to the Rockford IceHogs on Sunday. Nick Lardis didn’t play for Rockford last night. Scott Powers reported he may have gotten banged up a bit on Saturday night. In the USHL on Sunday, Mason West had two assists, was plus-three and was credited with seven shots on net in a 3-2 Fargo win over Sioux Falls. Fargo clinched a spot in the Clark Cup playoffs on Sunday! Congrats! In the OHL, Marek Vanacker scored his 40th goal of the season on Sunday afternoon. There are only five skaters in the entire CHL who have reached 40 goals — one in the OHL (Vanacker), one in the WHL and three in the QMJHL.#BFD t.co/pcwh0FyPhq pic.twitter.com/o0Kq4ciCPa
— Brantford Bulldogs (@BulldogsOHL) February 22, 2026 A couple fun facts from the Olympics. Jack Eichel (Boston University) joins Neal Broten (Minnesota) as the only players to have won the Hobey Baker, Olympic Gold, and the Stanley Cup. Eichel, Broten and Paul Kariya (Canada / Maine) are the only three players to win the Hobey Baker Winner and Olympic Gold. The United States did not have a player on the roster who could join the IIHF’s Triple Gold Club. The individual hardware was distributed after the USA won gold at the Olympics on Sunday morning (our time). Connor McDavid was named the tournament’s MVP — in a second place finish, which might be becoming more of a trend than he likes at this point. For those who take issue with that, the voting took place at the end of the first period of the gold medal game. Here’s the Olympic All-Star Team as well:Connor McDavid is the MVP of men's Olympic tournament! #Olympics #IIHF @hockeycanada Read more: t.co/Ass1ITqpXy pic.twitter.com/6pMK0rJCIt
