Before Sunday’s game, I said my attention was on more than the final score of the game against the NHL-best Colorado Avalanche. On paper, the Blackhawks should have been boat raced out of their own barn. Especially coming out of a game in Buffalo in which they gave up nine goals. I wanted to see the young Blackhawks turn their worst performance of the year into a nothing and compete.
The Blackhawks did that on Sunday.
And, while I know I have never been one to preach moral victories and Nick Foligno certainly isn’t a fan of them, the Blackhawks’ performance on Sunday was at the very least encouraging.
The comments after the game were largely about process. We’ve heard head coach Jeff Blashill talk consistently about structure and process, and, if the Blackhawks can remain committed to the principles they’re preaching, they’ll be able to compete.
‘‘If we repeat that performance, we’re winning lots of games,’’ Blashill said. ‘‘We did an excellent job in our structure, an excellent job of [fixing] some of the things we talked about this morning that we didn’t do in Buffalo.’’
His players echoed that sentiment.
‘‘We can be both happy with the process [and] not satisfied with the result,’’ Jason Dickinson said. ‘‘It sucks, but, for the most part, that’s a lot of good clips that we can go back and watch and be proud of.”
‘‘It’s a process, right?’’ Wyatt Kaiser said. ‘‘You’re trying to take away the things you can grow from and learn. You can look at the positives and say, ‘OK, we’re doing this well. Now what else can we improve on?’”
The hard part is the Blackhawks putting together a game in which they had chances, carried the play for periods of time, got great goaltending and took a third consecutive loss — the first time this year the Blackhawks have lost two in a row in regulation, much less three.
The Blackhawks have lost three straight games (one of which was in overtime) on two other occasions this season, including the season’s first three games. After the first three-game losing streak, the Blackhawks won four of five (4-0-1). After the second three-game losing streak — the first half of their recent six-game road trip — the Blackhawks put together a 5-0-1 record in their next six games. They have two divisional opponents coming to Chicago this week (Minnesota, Nashville) before the red hot Anaheim Ducks. Let’s see if they can put together a nice little run again here. Can I interest you in a fun Connor Bedard contract rumor/report? Frank Seravalli joined the pregame show and said he believes Bedard’s next contract with the Blackhawks will be in the $12.5-15M AAV range on a max eight-year term deal.Frank Seravalli says that Connor Bedard's next contract is likely to be an eight-year deal with an AAV in the range of $12.5 to $15 million pic.twitter.com/eT5pxMSSdT
— BHF (@BlackhawksFocus) November 23, 2025 Bedard and Frank Nazar have indeed shown that they’re the future of the franchise this season — on and off the ice. Good read here from Ben Pope on how those two will likely find letters on their shoulders at the start of next season — letters that will likely be there for the next decade.Connor Bedard and Frank Nazar are proving they're ready to wear the "C" and an "A" for the Blackhawks.And with the current leadership group all on expiring contracts, that could happen as soon as next season.New story: t.co/Wp5jDEWzmD
— Ben Pope (@BenPopeCST) November 22, 2025 Really nice speed/effort play here from Blackhawks prospect AJ Spellacy while killing a penalty to knock the puck loose. Jean-Christoph Lemieux benefitted with the short-handed goal on the play. Windsor beat Guelph 5-1 on Sunday afternoon. Spellacy also scored a power play goal early in the third period to check both special teams boxes.JC on the PK2026 #NHLDraft prospect Jean-Christoph Lemieux scores a shorthanded beauty for his 9th of the season and the @SpitsHockey are flying high in the first!@FloHockey pic.twitter.com/duvC0zwctG

— Kitchener Rangers (@OHLRangers) November 23, 2025 Pittsburgh Penguins general manager Kyle Dubas was in the press box for last night’s Blackhawks vs. Avs game. I will note that Dubas, like Don Sweeney, is part of the management group selecting the Olympic roster for Hockey Canada. Sweeney, the general manager of the Boston Bruins, watch the Blackhawks host the Flames. Dallas forward Mikko Rantanen received his automatic one-game suspension from the NHL’s Department of Player Safety for receiving two game misconduct penalties within 41 games of each other. Hey, speaking of which, the Islanders announced defenseman Alex Romanov will need shoulder surgery and is out 5-6 months. Rantanen received one of his game misconduct penalties for the hit that hurt Romanov on Tuesday. Rantanen somehow did not receive any additional discipline from the league for that hit. So… he did it again a few days later. Alexandre Texier, whose contract was terminated by the St. Louis Blues this weekend, signed with the Montreal Canadiens on Sunday (according to his agent, Dan Milstein, on Twitter). I’ll admit that this got me a little choked up on Sunday afternoon. The Winnipeg Jets had their Hockey Fights Cancer night, and Jonathan Toews showed some love from one forever Blackhawks No. 19 to another.BLEACHER NATION: Go Ad Free | Subscribe to the BN Newsletter
