The Blackhawks will play the penultimate road game of their 2025-26 regular season late tonight in Seattle. They’ve lost their last five games in a row and are 2-6-3 in their last 11 games. If y’all don’t make the coffee and pour a little something in it for the 9 PM CT puck drop tonight, I get it. But there are plenty of reasons to watch.
We’re still going thru an experimental phase with the roster and lineup right now. Anton Frondell and Sacha Boisvert are still going thru their list of NHL firsts. Kevin Korchinski and Ethan Del Mastro are working to earn some faith and a few more dollars as RFAs this summer. And a lot of other young players are working thru learning moments. It might feel like training camp in April, but the value of that comes down the road when the Blackhawks put together lines and defensive pairs with the intent to start a new year strong in September.
The Blackhawks didn’t practice in Seattle yesterday, so we’re going to have to wait for an update on Nick Lardis until the morning skate today. Mark Lazerus wrote a fun piece looking at the frequent use of a Jonathan Toews comp for Anton Frondell from Blackhawks head coach Jeff Blashill.Jeff Blashill sees a lot of Jonathan Toews in Anton Frondell. And he's not afraid to say it. "I mean, it’s cool, but I don’t want to fly away," Frondell said. "Keep standing on the Earth and being humble."New story from YEG, unlocked and free to all: t.co/gMNmHF9uMy
— Mark Lazerus (@MarkLazerus) April 3, 2026 A good look at the Blackhawks’ penalty kill from Ben Pope on Friday. Since the Olympic break ended, the Blackhawks are tied for 21st in the league, killing 76.5 percent of opponents’ power plays. Some of that was to be expected when they traded away key defensive veterans Jason Dickinson, Nick Foligno and Connor Murphy. We also should expect that when the entire blue line is 24 or younger. But this is a good analysis of what the Blackhawks do, and how they can be among the league leaders next year.The Blackhawks' penalty kill still ranks #1 in the NHL, but since the trade deadline, it has struggled.Is that a sign of things to come next season? Or can Blashill’s unique PK system work effectively with any personnel?New story: t.co/cF8Qng9U1H
