The Latest Breaking News from Blackhawks

CHICAGO — The Flyers ruined their chance to put together a second three-game win streak this season with their 3-1 loss to the Chicago Blackhawks on Monday. Their first and only one was when they beat the Vegas Golden Knights, Arizona Coyotes and New Jersey Devils from Dec. 10-14. Now…

DeBrincat said he’s “open to talking” about a contract extension when he becomes eligible in July, even as another “definitely frustrating” season with the Hawks comes to a close.

The Hawks have squandered 14 straight leads since March 24, during which time they haven’t won a single game in regulation. “Sometimes you need a ‘live to fight another day’ kind of attitude,” interim coach Derek King said.

The Hawks tallied a season-low 16 shots on goal and 13 scoring chances in their 4-1 loss Thursday — although they did dodge an injury scare to Collin Delia.

DeBrincat’s 40 goals are tied for eighth in the NHL after scoring the overtime winner Wednesday against the Coyotes. He also ranks in the top 15 in shots and scoring chances.

McCabe has gone from one losing team in the Sabres to another in the Hawks, and his individual game hasn’t lived up to expectations this season, either.

Alex DeBrincat’s goal lifted the Hawks to a 4-3 win, their second in their last 12 games, in their last-ever trip to Gila River Arena.

Three straight healthy scratches last week demonstrate just how far Kubalik has fallen this season. Plus, Derek King explains why he keeps reinserting Erik Gustafsson.
