Only five more Sundays before the Chicago Blackhawks officially drop the puck for the start of the 2026-27 campaign! It seems like offseason has been going on forever, but we're getting closer every day. The Blackhawks will help kick off the NHL season when they face the Vegas Golden Knights at 9:30 p.m. Central time on Tuesday, Sept. 29. It will be the third game of a triple-header to officially start the season.
Until then, we'll keep you up to speed here at Blackhawk Up on all the latest news and happenings as we ramp up for training camp in mid-September. Let's dive into our latest content from yesterday.
Blackhawks Latest Content
- Late Sunday afternoon, the Blackhawks announced they have agreed to terms with defenseman Kevin Korchinski on a two-year extension with a $1.325 million average annual cap hit. Brooke LoFurno gives us the details of the contract.
- Speaking of Korchinski, he'll be fighting for a spot in the lineup now that Bowen Byram and Ian Cole are in the fold. Ryan McGregor outlines just where he could fit into the lineup.
- Nestor Quixtan discusses how newly acquired defenseman Byram will be expected to jump right into a top-defenseman role with the Blackhawks.
- Our hockey history buff Greg Boysen continues with his Blackhawks Number History Series, highlighting Nos. 71-80.
- Finally, Brooke looks at forward Landon Slaggert, who also might have his work cut out for him to obtain a roster spot out of camp.
The Countdown Continues
Countdowns are always fun! You may have seen I've made a point on X to have a countdown of days until Blackhawks' opening night. What's even more fun is to highlight a current or past player who wears the corresponding number on their jersey.
So without further ado, it's officially Spencer Knight days until Blackhawk's opening night!
Keep it right here at Blackhawk Up for all the latest news and updates as the season inches closer!
