Good news, Blackhawks fans! The team has an optional practice this afternoon and a full (except Olympian Teuvo Teräväinen) practice on the ice tomorrow. We’ll see if we get an update on the health of Wyatt Kaiser this afternoon or have to wait for tomorrow.
Kaiser got engaged during the break, which is great news for him on a personal note. He isn’t the only member of the Blackhawks’ blue line to put a ring on it during the break. Alex Vlasic also assumed the position and got a Yes! Congrats to Wyatt and Alex!

The buzz around the Blackhawks should only increase as we get closer to that time.Blackhawks Storylines to Watch After the Olympics #blackhawks t.co/5W8xu2J4dG

— Kamloops Blazers (@blazerhockey) February 16, 2026 This is a really nice collection of scout and draft writer analysis looking ahead at the top OHL prospects in the 2026 NHL Draft from Brock Otten. He includes comments from 11 others folks — including some that we reference frequently here like Corey Pronman, Scott Wheeler and Steven Ellis — as well as his own. His top five consensus OHL prospects in the 2026 NHL Draft: Chase Reid, RHD Caleb Malhotra, C Ethan Belchetz, W Adam Novotny, W Nikita Klepov, WChase Reid and Caleb Malhotra lead the way in the first media/scout poll for the 2026 Draft. t.co/gveuuMx89o#NHLDraft

French Hockey Federation has suspended Pierre Crinon for the rest of the Olympics. Wow!Crinon, the guy who fought Tom Wilson against Canada, has been banned for the rest of the Olympics by his own national hockey federation. t.co/CmUh34x3mB
— Arpon Basu (@ArponBasu) February 16, 2026 A couple interesting notes from around the NHL on Monday. The Carolina Hurricanes signed goaltender Brandon Bussi to a three-year extension that has a $1.9M cap hit. The San Jose Sharks placed veteran forward Jeff Skinner on unconditional waivers for purposes of contract termination. No, I don’t think the Blackhawks should inquire. Yes, we’ll see the son of Manny Malhotra drafted early in June. Today’s “wanna feel old?” moment also comes from the OHL, where Patrick Marleau’s son made his debut on Monday against Vanacker and the Brantford Bulldogs.BREAKING: Landon Marleau will make his OHL debut this afternoon against the Brantford Bulldogs. Landon plays for the Wellington Dukes of the OJHL and will wear #12 for the Frontenacs. Landon is the son of NHL legend Patrick Marleau. pic.twitter.com/Z5zDWYIbal
