Bold Blackhawks Predictions for the 2026-27 Season -
It’s that time of year, Blackhawks fans. With the 2026-27 regular season officially getting under way on Tuesday night, the moment has arrived for our bold predictions for the coming year. As always, make sure to bookmark this one to hold me accountable. And, as always, we’ll revisit these at the end of the regular season to see how I did when the dust settles. Unfortunately I’m not sure there’s a lot of wiggle room this season for my annual “how many NHL games will the prospects play?” prediction because the NHL roster is over-filled. But… we’ll see. With that being said, let’s jump into my bold predictions for the 2026-27 edition of the Chicago Blackhawks.

Blackhawks Training Camp Takeaways: Forwards -
With the Chicago Blackhawks’ four preseason games in the books, the only things standing between them and the start of the 2026-27 regular season are a practice in Chicago on Monday morning and a flight to Vegas. The Blackhawks made a number of moves this summer to bolster their roster. But the real impact is going to be made by the growth from the young core — and two incoming rookies who have been very impressive thus far. So, with just one day remaining in camp, it’s a good time to look at what we’ve seen from all of the players in training camp. We’ll start our breakdowns with the forwards. We’re obviously skipping Connor Bedard because he wasn’t on the ice with the rest of the team. With that being said, let’s jump into some thoughts on the Blackhawks’ forwards now that the preseason games are in the books.

However, the Flyers are entering this 2026-27 season with an oddity that no other team in the league is doing. And probably have rarely, if ever, gone with.
