Spencer Knight was surprised to be traded by the Panthers, but he’s excited for an opportunity with the Blackhawks. The story from his first Chicago media availability ⤵️ www.nytimes.com/athletic/617...

Spencer Knight's reaction to the trade: "I didn't really have any words. I didn't have any words. But I think you just talk to people close to you, move on and keep moving forward. I'm lucky to come to a great organization ..."

The Blackhawks have recalled Louis Crevier and placed Philipp Kurashev on IR.

The Blackhawks must prioritize their young players down the stretch. Tonight was another example of how it can’t be any worse if they did. My story from Las Vegas: www.nytimes.com/athletic/616...

The NHL season can be a physical and mental grind. How do players get through it? @marklazerus.bsky.social asked them to find out: www.nytimes.com/athletic/615...

Blackhawks trade board from @marklazerus.bsky.social and me: www.nytimes.com/athletic/616...

“Well, this has been almost four years of bottom of the league, so it’s not just this year — for me at least.” Seth Jones didn’t hold back after arguably one of the Blackhawks’ worst performances in the last three years. My story from Utah: www.nytimes.com/athletic/616...

The score may not have reflected it, but the Blackhawks' loss to the Utah HC was one of their worst in the last three seasons. My story from Utah: www.nytimes.com/athletic/616...

18 scouts listed in attendance for the Blackhawks-Utah HC game. There are two each from the Stars and Lightning.

Send in your Blackhawks trade proposals for a ‘Who says no?’ mailbag. ⁦‪@MarkLazerus‬⁩ and I will answer them later this week. www.nytimes.com/athletic/615...

Blackhawks prospect Nick Lardis is scoring at an incredible rate in the OHL, but is it transferrable to the NHL? I took that question to @jhanhky.bsky.social y.social and @byronbader.bsky.social for their unique perspectives. That and more in here: www.nytimes.com/athletic/615...

Seth Jones may want to be traded, but the Blackhawks have to do what's right for them. @marklazerus.bsky.social with the column: www.nytimes.com/athletic/615...

Kyle Davidson needs to do right by the Blackhawks, not by Seth Jones. But will he be able to? My column:  www.nytimes.com/athletic/615...

Will Seth Jones’ trade request be a distraction? What does Alec Martinez want at the deadline? That and more from @marklazerus.bsky.social: www.nytimes.com/athletic/615...

The Blackhawks want the two points. Many of their opponents NEED the two points. Matching their intensity is and will continue to be a challenge. Plus, the repercussions of Seth Jones' trade request, and Alec Martinez's future. From Columbus: www.nytimes.com/athletic/615...

With Seth Jones open to a trade, Chris Johnston, @marklazerus.bsky.social and I looked at what teams could make sense for the Blackhawks to explore a deal www.nytimes.com/athletic/615...

The Blackhawks had high hopes for San Rinzel when they drafted him in the first round in 2022. Now three years later, he's turning into the defenseman they hoped. My story on his development: www.nytimes.com/athletic/614...

Not many Blackhawks had a chance to play in the 4 Nations Face-Off, but the games have gotten players excited for the potential opportunity to play in the Olympics. @marklazerus.bsky.social with the story: ⤵️ www.nytimes.com/athletic/614...
