What a night in Chicago! I’ll have some links to our coverage of the Bulls win, Cubs landing a big ticket free agent and the Bears breathtaking win at the end of our bullets this morning, but I’m old enough to recommend we all take a step back this morning (in whatever hungover state of affairs you might be) and appreciate how many times in our lives as Chicago sports fans we’ll have a night that special.
Selfishly focusing on the ice last night, the Blackhawks game was another moment on the timeline of the rebuild that we can probably circle as noteworthy, if not possible significant. Consider the circumstances of the game. The Hawks have been bad in the second half of back-to-backs most of this year. They had two options in goal and both of them a) should be in the AHL, and b) started a game on Friday night. They got their butts kicked in the NHL on Friday night because half of the roster was/is sick. And they were still down a few important skaters on top of both NHL goalies going into a road game in Nashville against a Preds team that has been turning things around of late.
Six different Blackhawks registered a point last night. Their ages: 30, 22, 21, 20, 20, 20. The young goalie who got roasted in the comments here and on social media after Friday night’s game pulled out his best Lee Corso impression (“Not so fast my friend!“). And we wake up on Sunday morning with the Blackhawks back at .500 and three points out of a wild card spot.
I want to take another moment to talk about Tyler Bertuzzi giving the puck to Ryan Greene in the final minutes for an empty net goal. We’ve talked so much here about Greene generating chances but not getting the payoff. He hadn’t scored a goal in 19 games (since Nov. 30). Bertuzzi giving the puck to him to get that off his back says a lot about the veteran. The hug Greene got from Bedard had a little more joy in it than just an empty-net goal usually does — which tells you a little about the chemistry of this roster. And you could tell how much Greene appreciated it.#Blackhawks third of the night Ryan Greene Tyler Bertuzzi pic.twitter.com/EozfEpzC0C
— Bleacher Nation Blackhawks (@BN_Blackhawks) January 11, 2026 How about another round of applause for Drew Commesso last night? Pitching a 36-save road shutout in his second start in as many days was tremendous. He was calm in the net all night. Made the saves he needed to at some crucial times and was able to keep his composure when things got a little crazy in front of him. Well done! And I love this for the kid after the game.that first NHL win + first NHL shutout feeling? pic.twitter.com/U6yvPlF43z
— Chicago Blackhawks (@NHLBlackhawks) January 11, 2026 Kevin Korchinski bounced back with a nice night last night. He skated 14:03 and picked up an assist on the Hawks’ third goal of the game. A nice, more settled performance from the young defenseman. Last night, Artyom Levshunov picked up an assist on Bertuzzi’s goal. He now has 19 assists on the year, which ranks third among all NHL rookie behind Ivan Demidov and Beckett Sennecke. Levshunov now has 11 points on the power, play, which is tied for second among all rookies with Zeev Buium. Matthew Schaefer leads rookies with 13 points on the power play. Since the start of December (min. 10 games played), only Schaefer (24:41) is averaging more ice time per game than Levshunov (21:35). In fact, there are only three rookies skating over 20 minutes per game since Dec. 1 (again, min. 10 games). Let’s just keep talking about young guys because it’s fun. Good read here from Ben Pope on how Nick Lardis and Oliver Moore are growing together.Nick Lardis & Oliver Moore's adjacent lockers are helping them settle into the NHL. They can talk through anything together."Was that a no-look?""Yeah. You're always there.""I guess he knows I’m there, which is nice to know."New Blackhawks story: t.co/51npmepLxB

— Kamloops Blazers (@blazerhockey) January 11, 2026 One defenseman who will not be hitting them free agent market any time soon is Philip Broberg.
