Blackhawks Trends: Good early returns on Donato, avoidable penalties must stop
Chicago Blackhawks v Boston Bruins | Richard T Gagnon/GettyImagesA lot has happened since last Monday. The Chicago Blackhawks earned seven out of a possible eight points, going 3-0-1, with their only loss coming in a shootout. They had a blowout win of a hated rival on national television that showed the rest of the hockey world that this is a different team from years past. The 2025-26 Blackhawks are resilient bunch. Young, fast, confident and dangerous.
