Blues goalie Jordan Binnington gets lit up for 7 goals in loss to Blackhawks, but he refuses to leave the ice in brutal defeat

The only Hawks-Blues matchup TNT hasn’t aired was the Dec. 12 game — a 3-2 Blues win — in which Connor Bedard was injured. The two rivals are scheduled to meet once more: April 11 at the United Center in the third-to-last game of the season.

Connor Murphy, Oliver Moore, Landon Slaggert and Louis Crevier each had a goal and an assist for the Blackhawks (18-18-7), who have points in five straight (4-0-1). Matt Grzelcyk had two assists, and Spencer Knight made 27 saves.

Chicago improved to 5-6-1 in 12 games since Connor Bedard hurt his right shoulder during a loss at St. Louis on Dec. 12. Bedard participated in the team's morning skate and could return as soon as Friday.

The Chicago Blackhawks’ seven goals from seven skaters kept them undefeated in 2026 in a victory over the rival St. Louis Blues.

Congratulations to Otto Stenberg for first NHL goal; special teams were terrible (again); second period rears ugly head (again); wall battles, protecting slot non-existent (again); this team is incapable of winning three in a row;

Bedard injured his right shoulder Dec. 12 taking a last-second faceoff against Schenn, who explained Wednesday he wasn't trying to cause harm but understands Hawks fans' frustrations.
