Redemption for Nazar. Four-game point streak for No. 91.

The ire is rising between these two teams. Thursday will be their third game in 11 days. Should be a fun one.

Boisvert will be that physical presence. Could see him in a week.

END OF THE 2ND PERIOD
Utah Mammoth 2 (Hayton, Guenter),
Chicago Blackhawks 2 (Mangiapane, Burakovsky)

The Blackhawks tilted the ice in their favor that period and finally got rewarded for it. They could easily be up 5-2.

Burakovsky looked up to the heavens after depositing that one from behind the net, in a half-Michigan motion. Long overdue.

GOAL. Burakovsky. 2-2

The only thing that shift was missing was Yakkaty Sax. Another Blackhawks power play is incoming.

Cooley literally tackles Bedard. The ref 10 feet away looking right at it let's go. The official 50 feet behind the play calls the penalty.

The Mangiapane-Donato-Mikheyev line has some good chemistry going.

END OF THE 1ST PERIOD
Utah Mammoth 2 (Hayton, Guenter),
Chicago Blackhawks 1 (Mangiapane)

Poor puck management and very few chances generated. The story of the 2025-26 Blackhawks.

Mangiapane gets in Keller's face after a whistle, drawing the ire of Weegar. He's going to be a fan favorite in Chicago.

Vlasic skated himself into trouble and turned it over, leading to a 2-on-1. Keller's sauce pass to Guenther was elite.

GOAL. Guenther. 2-1

That was the most Mangiapane goal I've ever seen. He just drove to the net, and Donato's pass/shot hit off him and went in. Would like to see more guys in red do that.

GOAL. Mangiapane. 1-1

A Bronx cheer goes up as the Blackhawks get their first shot on goal, 12 minutes into the game.

Rinzel has made a couple of really nice passes already tonight.

The only person who isn't at this point is Blashill.

GOAL. Hayton. 1-0.

A redirect from up close. Not much Commesso could do with that one.

Burakovsky is going to have nightmares about that one. Still only one assist in his last 19 games.

I'm writing about this for my postgame article.

Third line is Manigapane-Donato-Mikheyev

Drew Commesso and Vitek Vanecek have led their clubs onto the ice. Hockey. Soon.

Beautiful setup in the radio booth in honor of Troy Murray.

Big picture, it has been better. The results need to catch up. There is no reason they can't be where the Sharks/Blue Jackets are this year. Win a few more of those OT games, or hold those late leads, and they are right there.

Blackhawks will lean on recent recalls against Mammoth The Chicago Blackhawks will be without two key players tonight, so it's time for two youngsters to step up against the Utah Mammoth.

Catching up on Dynamite and Collision, and I want to write a strongly-worded email to whoever picked the Zac Brown Band to have the theme song for the NCAA Tournament.

Crazy stat of the day: the Utah Mammoth have not had a game go to a shootout yet this season.

Morning Chirps: Murray memorials roll in, Foligno debuts for Wild The former Chicago Blackhawks captain looked a little strange in his new threads.
