You know what I love: early evening starts for weekend games. And the Blackhawks are doing me (us?) a solid with a 5 PM CT puck drop in Denver tonight and a lovely 3 PM start in Utah tomorrow. Hopefully we’re able to enjoy the remaining hours of our weekend because of two better performances than what we saw in Nashville.
The Blackhawks did mix up the lines a little at practice yesterday at the University of Denver. Teuvo Teräväinen was back with Frank Nazar and Oliver Moore. Tyler Bertuzzi bumped down to a third-line role with Jason Dickinson and Ilya Mikheyev. We’ll see what the lines look like in the game tonight, because… The Blackhawks are not holding a morning skate today. With an earlier start, it isn’t ideal for the routine to back up the morning skate to like 8 AM local time. Even so, the Blackhawks obviously won’t have a morning skate in Utah tomorrow with an earlier start (and travel from Denver), so two game days without a morning skate. Again, not ideal. Blackhawks general manager Kyle Davidson is on the current four-game trip with the team, and he’s apparently already had at least one conversation with captain Nick Foligno about his near-term future. Interesting comments here from Foligno that doesn’t exactly close the door on a deal happening. When I talk about “The Artyom Levshunov Experience,” there’s a portion of the Blackhawks fan base that is happily willing to live on the negative side of the ledger. Which is their prerogative. But I’m going to remain steadfast that he’s still only 20 and learning in the best league in the world. And we need to be as mindful of the good moments — like Levshunov breaking up a 2-on-1 in Nashville on Thursday night (below) — as we are on the bad turnover that turned into a goal. The growth curve we should want to see from him is fewer hiccups and more consistently solid play. We should also hope he doesn’t get left on an island like he did below as frequently as he has been this year. That comes with the overall roster maturing, too.Smith throws a late hit on Greene to spring a 2-on-1 but Levshunov breaks it up with a nice defensive play pic.twitter.com/VxbL6LYb2f
— BHF (@BlackhawksFocus) February 27, 2026 The Rockford IceHogs announced forward Samuel Savoie will miss one to two weeks with a lower body injury. In the NCAA ranks, Václav Nestrašil scored a goal and added an assist for a two-point game for UMass. In the OHL last night, AJ Spellacy picked up an assist in the first period, giving him helpers on consecutive nights for Windsor. He added a second assist in the second period and a power play goal in the third for a three-point night. Jack Pridham picked up two assists in the second period for Kitchener last night. The third period went completely off the rails, with multiple cheap shots and fights. There were 15 power plays in the game. Pridham was on the wrong end of one of the cheap shots. Hopefully he’s okay. Marek Vanacker scored his OHL-leading 42nd goal of the season and added an assist for a two-point night of his own.Marek Vanacker (#78 F) scores goal #42 for the Brantford Bulldogs on a beautiful tic-tac-toe power play! #OHL Dear @NHLFlyers, this is how it's done. pic.twitter.com/qLR8OPbdbK
— BFrisco4real (@BFrisco4real) February 28, 2026 Terrence Lee-Imagn Images Potentially significant pre-trade deadline news in Dallas on Friday. With Mikko Rantanen’s injury in the background — and it sounds like that might be closer to four weeks than two — Elliotte Friedman broke the news that the Stars filed paperwork declaring Tyler Seguin out for the rest of the regular season and playoffs. This way, Dallas can take the most available advantage of LTIR relief with him being out since having ACL surgery. However, Pierre LeBrun came in later with the note that “the Stars were already using $3.8M of his cap hit with other players injured.” Even with LeBrun’s reported use of LTI in Dallas, the Stars opened up around $6M in additional cap space to use before the deadline. They’re reportedly been in the market for a right-handed defenseman (they are every year) and obviously need healthy bodies up front with Rantanen out. Steven Stamkos told the Nashville Tennessean there is “zero” chance he’ll waive his no-move clause. Finally, this is awesome. And, honestly, how it should be. The golden goal pucks from both the men’s and women’s Olympic Games are headed to Toronto to be on display at the Hockey Hall of Fame. Some other cool artifacts will be on their way to the museum as well, but having those two incredible pucks — and what they mean to USA Hockey — being on display with the rest of hockey history feels right.BREAKING: Artifacts from the 2026 Olympics including:USA: Women and Men’s GWG puck from both OT Gold medal games; Hilary Knight (jersey)Canada: MVP McDavid (jersey)Sweden: Nylander (jersey)All artifacts collected from the Olympic Games will be on display soon @HockeyHallFame pic.twitter.com/7vrWoesJAT
