Back in Chicago after eight seasons with Carolina, Teräväinen wants to teach Bedard and the next wave of Blackhawks prospects how to win.

Vlasic is a long shot for the 4 Nations tournament, but he was on the U.S. roster for the World Championship in the spring.

Let’s take a look at all the smaller stats — good, bad and indifferent — that make up the Blackhawks' 5-9-1 record.

Danny Wirtz has to figure out a way to keep the Blackhawks in the public eye, or risk fading into irrelevance.

Bedard is playing better hockey this season than as a rookie but is struggling to do the thing that is supposed to come easy to him — score.

Chicago will be without four-time All-Star defenseman Seth Jones and former MVP Taylor Hall vs. Vancouver on Saturday, and possibly longer.

"It's getting frustrating," defenseman Alex Vlasic said. "It's pretty tiring to rely on one goal to win against a good team."

Have we reached the ceiling of what an NHL slap shot can be? And why?

The Blackhawks picked up just their third home win of the season against the reigning Stanley Cup champions.

Teuvo Teräväinen can do it all. On a Blackhawks team struggling for consistency, that might not be in his best interest.
