The Blackhawks got a well-earned day off on Sunday. Well earned both because they won a game in Nashville on Saturday night and, frankly, they need to get away from each other and get this flu bug out of their collective systems. They’re rolling right now; the Blackhawks’ only loss this calendar year was on Friday night with a bunch of guys missing and others playing at less than 100 percent.
But the calendar doesn’t slow down in the NHL, and it sure doesn’t for the Blackhawks in January of an Olympic year. And tonight, the Hawks will have the opportunity to take their fun, young lineup up against Connor McDavid, Leon Draisaitl and the Edmonton Oilers.

— Tab Bamford (@The1Tab) January 11, 2026 Hey, remember when there were fans who were talking about how much better off the Anaheim Ducks were than the Blackhawks? Because they went out and got some veterans like Chris Kreider and Jacob Trouba? That was a thing in November and December. It shouldn’t be a thing right now. The Ducks have lost five straight and are 1-8-1 in their last 10 games. And, waking up on Monday morning, the Blackhawks are slightly ahead of the Ducks in the standings (by virtue of 15 regulation wins). The Hawks also have the better goal differential. Oh, and this is with Bedard missing almost a full month and still no Frank Nazar. I throw this into our bullets this morning for a few reasons. First: we need a reminder every once in a while that young teams do struggle, no matter who’s behind the bench. When they struggle and when the slide happens might be timed differently for different teams, but it happens. It’s also worth us appreciating that we’re all waking up on Monday seeing the Blackhawks three points out of a Wild Card spot. The second half of the season should now have meaning — and that was our hope in September. Finally, the Vancouver Canucks said the word. The sentence has been uttered. “We (are) transitioning into a rebuild.” So go ahead and start your mock trade lists, folks. Because the Canucks"The draft is really important for us in the long term plan and the direction we're going here."General Manager Patrik Allvin speaks in an exclusive interview with Chris Faber about the future of the team and importance of the draft at the #Canucks annual Scouting Meetings. pic.twitter.com/SDO1VjI6lt
