The Road Ahead: Challenges and Highlights for the Blackhawks
Chicago squares off with Utah to wrap up their season series. A daunting task, given the Blackhawks have earned points in just four of their last five games (2-1-2). But fear not; they’ve also taken points in three-straight road outings (1-0-2) and eight out of their last 12 on the road (5-4-3).
Teuvo Teravainen’s Road to Success
With a point on Thursday, Teuvo Teravainen could set a career-long six-game road point streak. The veteran forward has already logged points in five consecutive road games (3G, 4A), a season-long stretch that showcases his resilience and consistency.
A King’s Game: Connor Bedard
Forward Connor Bedard notched two assists on Monday against Utah, passing Eddie Olczyk for the most helpers by a Blackhawks player before turning 21. With two assists in this game, Bedard (117) surpassed Olczyk (115). His performance continues to be nothing short of a king’s game, with 6G and 6A in nine of his last 12 outings.
Against Utah: A Winning Streak
The Blackhawks have been dominant against the Utah Mammoth this season. With a perfect 7-for-7 (100%) penalty kill record, they’ve also scored a power play goal in each of their three games against them in 2025-26. Teuvo Teravainen is on fire at Delta Center, with points in all three career games there (3G, 1A).
Last Time Out: A Comeback Win
On Monday night, the Blackhawks defeated Utah in overtime, 3-2. Frank Nazar scored the game-winning goal and went 8-for-10 (80.0%) in faceoff circles. Connor Bedard added two assists to his career-high four hits.
Andrew Mangiapane also logged a goal, while Andre Burakovsky contributed one of their own.
With these performances under their belt, the Blackhawks are poised for another solid outing against Utah. Thursday’s game is crucial as they look to maintain their momentum and build on recent successes.
