While we’re all getting ready for the big Nick Foligno return game tomorrow night and maybe the announcement of a prospect signing, the NHL’s general managers are meeting in Florida this week. Pierre LeBrun reported on Monday morning that there is an expectation that the league will announce its World Cup of Hockey plans today. The best-on-best tournament is slated for February 2028.
Mark Lazerus and Scott Powers at The Athletic dropped their latest Monday edition of their Blackhawks power rankings earlier this morning. A very nice touch having how much everyone — fans, players, media members and the organization as a whole — misses Troy Murray at the top of the list. Terrific read here from Lazerus on Tyler Bertuzzi."He's Bert. He does what Bert does. He just does Bert."Why Tyler Bertuzzi's singular style, on and off the ice, makes him worthy of the new letter on his sweater: t.co/hTNvYR5AM8
— Mark Lazerus (@MarkLazerus) March 15, 2026 Ben Pope talked to NHL deputy commissioner Bill Daly about why the Blackhawks were chosen to play the Ottawa Senators in Germany in December. His answer was pretty simple: the Blackhawks sell.“Having Connor Bedard at this stage of his hockey career is attractive to hockey fans…but the Blackhawks are an iconic NHL franchise with a long history,” Daly said Saturday. “They’ll always have that going for them, particularly with the relatively recent revival of the team’s competitiveness.
“Whenever we can call on the Blackhawks — and they’ve always been great partners for the league on these kinds of events — it’s a pretty easy call. They’re our go-to.”

— Ben Pope (@BenPopeCST) March 15, 2026 This is the final week of the CHL regular seasons. The OHL path to the J. Ross Robertson Cup begins on March 26. The the battle for the Ed Chynoweth Cup (WHL playoffs) begin on March 27. In the OHL on Sunday, Brantford beat Sault Ste. Marie 3-0 on Sunday afternoon. Marek Vanacker picked up an assist in the game. AJ Spellacy was a scratch for Windsor on Sunday because of a lower-body injury. Jack Pridham scored the eventual game-winning goal (below) for Kitchener and added a short-handed assist late in the third period in a Rangers win. Pridham’s 87 points are now fourth in the OHL, and his 43 goals are just one back of Vanacker for the OHL lead. He’s having a tremendous season.for Jack Pridham takes advantage of a turnover and doubles the @OHLRangers lead with a perfectly placed shot.#Blackhawks pic.twitter.com/ncunfRlLj6
— Ontario Hockey League (@OHLHockey) March 16, 2026 In the Hockey East playoffs, Václav Nestrašil — the only Blackhawks prospect remaining in that tournament — and UMass will skate against Merrimack at 3 PM CT on Friday. Boston College will face UConn at 6 PM CT in the late game Friday. As of the writing of these bullets, the Blackhawks have not signed Sacha Boisvert — yet. But the Washington Capitals signed his now-former BU teammate, defenseman Cole Hutson, on Sunday. With the NHL GM Meetings in Florida beginning today, I would expect movement there soon. And then Boisvert will have to get his visa situation taken care of so he can make his NHL debut.BLEACHER NATION: Go Ad Free | Subscribe to the BN Newsletter
