The Triple Gold Club is one of the most prestigious groups in hockey that we don’t talk about much. To be a member, a player has to win gold at the Olympics and men’s World Championship and the Stanley Cup in their careers. Entering this year’s Winter Olympics, only 30 men have achieved the feat. But there’s a collection of individuals who could join that exclusive club, two of whom have played for the Blackhawks.
As a reminder: with his gold medal and first Stanley Cup victory in 2010, then-Blackhawks captain Jonathan Toews became the youngest ever member of the Triple Gold Club at just 22 years and 41 days old. And, another reminder: Sidney Crosby may have scored the Golden Goal in 2010, but Toews was named the Best Forward in the tournament by the IIHF Directorate. He also won the Conn Smythe in 2010. Have a year!
Not a great start to the Olympics for Teuvo Teräväinen and Finland. They were upset 4-1 by Slovakia in the first game of the men’s tournament on Wednesday. Montreal’s Juraj Slafkovský had two goals and an assist for the victors.
Today’s men’s Olympic hockey schedule:

He was on the ice to start the game with his Rockford teammates, Kevin Korchinski and Brett Seney, for the 3-on-3 action. He also buried a sick goal in the shootout.

— Blackhawks on CHSN (@CHSN_Blackhawks) February 12, 2026 David St-Louis at Elite Prospects ranked the top 12 rookie defensemen in the NHL this season. He ranked Blackhawks defenseman Artyom Levshunov at No. 6 on his list. He’s pretty critical of Levshunov thus far, but points out that there are glimpses of his immense potential. It’s the lack of consistency he’s shown thus far that are troubling for St-Louis. Here’s part of what he wrote about the good:There’s one area where his game has noticeably improved: physicality. Using his frame better and more often, Levshunov plays a harder brand of hockey at the NHL level than he ever did in the NCAA or AHL. He walls off opponents from high-danger areas, ties up sticks, gets the interior position on loose pucks, and lands some hits.
He’s also capable of great plays on both sides of the puck.
In moments, Levshunov can box out opponents,intercept plays around the net, and push through pressure to get the puck out of traffic. He can hold on to the puck under pressure, using his frame to keep forecheckers at bay. Veiling his intention with deception, anticipating plays, and connecting clever passing plays, he sometimes looks like a high-end offensive quarterback.
There’s only one game in the CHL involving Blackhawks prospects tonight. Sarnia visits AJ Spellacy and the Windsor Spitfires.BLEACHER NATION: Go Ad Free | Subscribe to the BN Newsletter
