Blackhawks shake up lines, power-play units

Blackhawks shake up lines, power-play units

Author: Chicago Sports Network January 27, 2026 Duration: 47:08
On this episode of the Blackhawks Breakaway Podcast, Pat Boyle and Charlie Roumeliotis break down why Chicago’s power play has gone cold with a 0-for-17 stretch over the last seven games, and discuss recent unit shake-ups and practice adjustments aimed at fixing it. They also dive into Connor Bedard's game as he has just one goal in his last eight games since returning from a shoulder injury, and what the Blackhawks can do to get him going again. The guys discuss Bedard skating with Frank Nazar and Teuvo Teravainen (who’s tracking toward a return) and whether his recent play could impact Team Canada’s decision if they need an Olympic injury replacement. Pat and Charlie also take an early look at Chicago's trade deadline approach, plus Nick Lardis being assigned back to the AHL’s Rockford IceHogs. The show wraps up with a preview of the Moms Trip and a recap of an emotional Hockey Fights Cancer Night at the United Center.
