Jarmo Kekäläinen houkutteli NHL:n supertähteä – paljasti nyt valintansa -
Patrick Kane myönsi, että paluu kotikaupunkiinsa Buffaloon oli tänä kesänä aidosti lähellä. Chicago Blackhawksin kanssa lopulta kaksivuotisen ja yhteensä 16 miljoonan dollarin sopimuksen tehnyt Kane kertoo Sabresin olleen yksi hänen vakavasti harkitsemistaan vaihtoehdoista. – Yksi ensimmäisistä puheluista, jonka sain tänä kesänä, tuli Jarmo Kekäläiseltä. Se oli vaikea päätös. Lopulta vaihtoehtoina olivat oikeastaan Buffalo ja Chicago. Kane on yhdistetty Buffaloon toistuvasti sen jälkeen, kun hän jätti Chicagon ensimmäisen kerran vuonna 2023. Tuolloin lonkkaleikkaus viivästytti hänen vapaiden agenttien markkinoille lähtöään ja Sabres oli kiinnostunut hänestä. Kane päätyi kuitenkin Detroit Red Wingsiin, jossa hän jatkoi vielä kahdella yksivuotisella sopimuksella.

Game #2 Preview & Open Thread: Sabres vs Blackhawks -
Byram Will Not Play in Buffalo Return Unfortunately, there is only one “revenge game” tonight. Former defenseman Bowen Byram will not play for Chicago tonight. Blackhawks coach Jeff Blashill said Byram is tending to a family matter. That means Sabres fans will have to wait for Byram’s first game back at KeyBank Center since Buffalo traded him to Chicago this summer. Jordan Greenway is still expected to be in Chicago’s lineup and will face the Sabres for the first time since the trade. Byram’s absence forces Chicago to reshuffle its defense. Kevin Korchinski and Ethan Del Mastro will both make their season debuts after sitting out the Blackhawks’ first two games. Byram didn’t have the best first game, but I’m sure it will improve. Byram got everything he wanted when he was traded: to be the #1 D-man and a big contract, so “revenge” is a little harsh. Zellweger Is In There is no longer much

Keep Holding On: Blackhawks at Sabres Preview -
The Chicago Blackhawks look to salvage something from their season-opening road trip when they visit the Buffalo Sabres on Saturday night. After what happened on Thursday night in Utah, something is setting the bar pretty low. The Sabres also aren’t off to a great start, either, having lost 6-3 on the road to the Columbus Blue Jackets on Thursday, although there were at least some positives for Buffalo after a terrible first period. Twice the Sabres cut the deficit to one in the second period but they never found the equalizer and Columbus eventually put the game away with two goals in the third. The Sabres will be looking to right the ship in their second game, especially since it’ll be their home opener (yes, the Blackhawks will be the opponent in yet another team’s first home game — gross). The Sabres forward group is still led by Tage Thompson, who went a point-per-game last season with 81 points (40 G, 41 A) while

Jack Quinn, the Sabres’ power play and other things to watch this season -
BUFFALO – Friendly reminder, gang, while Seth Appert is the assistant coach in charge of the Sabres’ power play, it’s Lindy Ruff’s show. He’s the head coach. Oh, and goalie Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen posted a .909 save percentage last season. Yes, the Finn struggled at times in the Stanley Cup Playoffs. But he still enjoyed a strong campaign. Why do these things bear repeating just one game into the season? Well, the Sabres lost Thursday’s opener ...

It’s Only Two Blackhawks Games, But… -
The Chicago Blackhawks came into the 2026-27 season talking confidently about the new year. They were bold with their playoff aspirations and expectations of improvement. But they ran into two of the best teams in the Western Conference to start their season and were easily dismissed by both the Vegas Golden Knights and Utah Mammoth. They were out-worked by older, stronger teams that have been together for a while. They were out-classed by two teams that were in the playoffs in 2026. And the rude awakening to the Blackhawks — as a franchise — is that any uncertainty about the roster that carried into the regular season had the brightest of spotlights shown on it immediately. Blackhawks head coach Jeff Blashill said as the Blackhawks left for the season-opening three-game trip that his lineup was still going to be a work in progress.

The Blackhawks Week That Was and Will Be, 9/29: No more words -
I’ve been struggling to find the words to put into this space for a few weeks now, which is why this is running on the same day as the Blackhawks first game of the 2026-27 season instead of the day before it, per the original plan. And as I’m approaching the deadline of publishing the initial entry for this (hopefully!) weekly series that will again (hopefully!) run throughout the season, I’m going to be a little bit lame and invoke the cliche that there isn’t much left to be said, because it’s time for action now. Ever since the teardown portion of this whole rebuild process started, we’ve been hearing these names for years. A few of them were already in the system, with Alex Vlasic onboard since 2019 and Wyatt Kaiser joining in 2020. Beginning in 2022, though, the names we started penciling into lineups for the back half of this decade — and hopefully into the next one — started arriving in clumps. That

Earlier on Sunday, we offered some thoughts on each of the Blackhawks’ forwards. Now, let’s turn our attention to the blue line. There are two new faces on the back end in Chicago, but the Blackhawks’ success defensively is going to ride largely on their young defensemen maturing and developing. That’s still a work-in-progress, but the veteran additions should do a lot to help that situation this season.
