The Winnipeg Jets' schedule has been released, and Blackhawks fans are circling their calendars for the return of Jonathan Toews to Chicago.

The Chicago Blackhawks’ rebuilding squad will get quite the test on the opening night of the NHL regular season.

Montreal Canadiens confirm the signing of a player who shared the ice with Connor Bedard on the Chicago Blackhawks after an underwhelming stint with the Seattle Kraken during the 2024–25 NHL season.

A trade pitch from Heavy.con has the Chicago Blackhawks acquiring Patrik Laine from the Montreal Canadines in 1-for-1 swap.

The Blackhawks are continuing to rebuild to return to their glory years. They won the Stanley Cup in 2010, 2013 and 2015, with center Jonathan Toews and forward Patrick Kane as the centerpieces of the franchise.
