Blackhawks Ship Dickinson and Dach to Oilers for Mangiapane and Protected 2027 First

Chicago sent Jason Dickinson and Colton Dach to Edmonton for Andrew Mangiapane and a top-12 protected 2027 first-round pick, with Chicago retaining 50% of Dickinson’s $4.25 million cap hit. Dickinson, a 30-year-old two-way center, and Dach, 23, in the final year of his entry-level deal, provide Edmonton depth while Chicago continues its rebuild and stockpiles future first-round picks. Mangiapane, 29, signed through 2026-27 at a $3.6 million cap hit and was recently assigned to the AHL after clearing waivers.

Panthers’ Tank Plan Could Boost Blackhawks’ Draft Stock

Florida Panthers are reportedly embracing a 'be bad' approach ahead of the NHL trade deadline, signaling potential asset sales. Their decision could benefit the Chicago Blackhawks by increasing the odds that Florida finishes in the top 10 of the 2026 draft and triggers the Blackhawks receiving Florida’s fully unprotected first-round pick in 2027, potentially pushing that asset to 2028 if the Panthers stay in the top ten.

Penguins erupt for four-goal second period in 6-2 win over Blackhawks

Pittsburgh erupted for four goals in the second period to erase a 1-1 first and roll to a 6-2 win over Chicago. Anthony Mantha totaled three points, Evgeni Malkin fed Egor Chinakhov for a goal, and rookie Solovyov made a strong Penguins debut as Pittsburgh’s depth continued to shine, aided by a productive fourth line. Chicago’s Bedard scored late, but the Penguins used a dominant middle frame (and a heavy shot count) to build a 5-1 lead before Dewar and a late Bedard tally wrapped it up. Rust’s suspension forced lineup shuffles, with Brazeau moved up and the team keeping pace in the playoff race, next facing the Rangers.

Söderblom Shines in Shootout Loss as Hawks Fall to Lightning

Arvid Söderblom turned in a 29-save performance, but the Chicago Blackhawks dropped a 2-1 shootout decision to the Tampa Bay Lightning. Chicago took an early lead on Ryan Greene’s goal, were outshot heavily but benefited from rookie contributions (Oliver Moore and Nick Lardis assisted on the opener), and former Hawk Dominic James sealed the win for Tampa Bay in the shootout as the Lightning extended its 14-game point streak. The Hawks’ penalty kill was solid in a tightly played game, but the result snapped a back-to-back set for Chicago.
