Hey, Blackhawks fans! We have a little actual Blackhawks hockey to talk about on this fine, crisp, chilly Wednesday morning. The Blackhawks practiced in Chicago on Tuesday afternoon as they get back from their break during the 4 Nations Face-Off. It was a pretty tough practice to get back into the grind. They’ll be back on the ice today and Friday before heading to Columbus for their game on Saturday to start the home stretch of the 2024-25 season.
Roster updates from Tuesday:

— Chicago Blackhawks (@NHLBlackhawks) February 18, 2025 Solid out-of-the-break story here from Ben Pope on Frank Nazar. Nazar, Landon Slaggert and Nolan Allan weren’t sent back to Rockford over the break — a good sign they’re viewed as NHL players now. Which is great. The break came exactly half-way thru what would be Nazar’s first “full” professional season in the NHL.Frank Nazar was the first Blackhawks player on the ice today. With 26 NHL games played and 27 to go this season, he feels much more comfortable."[This break was] perfect, right down the middle, so I know what I’m getting into."New story: t.co/r0zvmInPNa

— Jeff Agrest #? (@JeffAgrest) February 18, 2025 If you’re a season ticket member, renewal info for next year has started arriving in email inboxes this week. Yes, prices are going up — but not by much, according to the team.The Blackhawks capped the amount of 300-level season tickets sold this season. That is expected again for next season. Prices vary in the 300s, but I was told the average is consistent with the 1% increase.

— Frank Seravalli (@frank_seravalli) February 19, 2025 A quick hitter on the 4 Nations Face-Off final on Thursday night: Charlie McAvoy is out (we knew that) and we learned he’s considered week-to-week. We heard yesterday that Quinn Hughes is in the mix to be the extra defenseman; he was supposed to be on the roster originally but was scratched because of a nagging injury and replaced before the games began. If the US has another injury/illness on the blue line, Quinn can join his brother Jack in Boston. But that would be a wild travel plan because Quinn practiced with the Canucks on Tuesday… in Vancouver. Let’s see how this plays out.Sources: USA ?? defenseman Charlie McAvoy is week-to-week for #NHLBruins after procedure to clean out infection on Tuesday.Plus details on Quinn Hughes' status with USA roster ahead of Thursday's clash.
