After an incredible, emotional opening ceremony that celebrated the old Chicago Stadium, the Blackhawks proceeded to give up the first goal of the game — to Alex DeBrincat, after only 55 seconds of game time. Because the Blackhawks were celebrating their past, Patrick Kane scored the second goal of the game. Why not, right? It was a good first period for the former Blackhawks, not so much for the present.
This was a flat offensive performance in which the Blackhawks really needed their goaltender to make a few saves and keep them in it until they woke up. Unfortunately, Arvid Söderblom wasn’t sharp right out of the gate and the Blackhawks were chasing early.
Detroit got the first goal in the second period, this time opting to not have a former Blackhawk score. Which was a nice change of pace, but the Blackhawks were now chasing three. DeBrincat closed the books with an empty net goal in the third.
Star 1: Wayne Messmer
With the Blackhawks celebrating the Chicago Stadium tonight, having Messmer in the 300 level standing next to the old organ to sing the “Star Spangled Banner” like back in the day was remarkable. I didn’t think we would ever see him back in this arena. Lots of feels before the game began.

— Tab Bamford (@The1Tab) December 14, 2025Star 2: Nick Lardis
In his first period in the NHL, Lardis skated 4:01 and was credited with one hit and had one shot miss the mark. His line with Oliver Moore and one of Ryan Greene or Frank Nazar was decent. He got to slide into Connor Bedard‘s spot on the top power play unit immediately. At the end of two periods, Lardis was tied for the Blackhawks’ team lead with four hits. He looked like an NHL player in the midst of an underwhelming team performance. He led the Blackhawks with eight shot attempts by the end of the night.

— BHF (@BlackhawksFocus) December 14, 2025Star 3: Colton Dach
Dach was buzzing all night. At the end of the second period, he led the Blackhawks with six shot attempts (three on net), two high danger chances and four hits in 8:52 on the ice. Unlike many of his teammates, Dach was noticeable on most of his shifts.
Key Takeaways
The Blackhawks actually had a 20-11 shot attempt advantage at 5-on-5 and matched the Red Wings’ four high dangers chances in the first period. Chicago’s speed had a few chances to make something happen, but the Hawks didn’t finish when they got there. The Blackhawks won 19 of 32 faceoffs (59 percent) thru two periods. Nazar won 6 of 9 and Greene won 5 of 7 in the first two periosd. Without Bedard, the power play looked lost.Hence then, the article about blackhawks 0 red wings 4 three stars key takeaways was published today ( ) and is available on Bleacher Nation ( Middle East ) The editorial team at PressBee has edited and verified it, and it may have been modified, fully republished, or quoted.
