I would absolutely love to have a whole lot of exciting, earth-shattering Blackhawks content for you on a Saturday morning but… they haven’t played in a full week. However, tonight we get the big one: USA vs Canada in Montreal with the top spot in the 4 Nations Face-Off on the line. It’s on ABC and ESPN+ and the puck drops shortly after 7 PM CT. I can’t wait!
Now let’s just jump straight into some prospect highlights!
Nick Lardis remains en fuego. He scored the first two goals for Brantford last night and finished another hat trick in the third period. Lardis also had an assist on the Bulldogs’ ninth (yes, I said ninth) goal of the evening for a four-point effort.Another ? for #Blackhawks prospect Nick Lardis for @BulldogsOHL pic.twitter.com/Ybz0Tnw3Cq

The two Blackhawks prospects had four goals in the first period! Vanacker picked up an assist in the second period on Brantford’s sixth goal and scored his third goal of the night to give the Bulldogs an even 10 on the night. Like Lardis, he had a four-point evening. Here are his first and third goals of the night.VANACKER ON THE POWER PLAY ?A perfect net front pass by #NHLDraft prospect Jake O'Brien goes right on the tape of @NHLBlackhawks prospect Marek Vanacker who scores his 15th goal of the season to put the @BulldogsOHL up 3-0!#OHL | @CHLHockey pic.twitter.com/NsFWlk6UUC
