We are just about 50 hours away from the NHL Trade Deadline and seven hours away from tonight’s puck drop between the Chicago Blackhawks and Columbus Blue Jackets in Columbus. Both events are hugely important to the short and long term futures of the Blackhawks.
• As for the game, if you’ve been following along for the last few weeks, you know it’s playoff crunch time and you know the Blackhawks are doing a poor job of handling the bite. They’ve lost 11 of their last 16 games with all 11 losses coming in regulation. They are four points behind the Nashville Predators for fourth-place in the Central Division and need every win they can get. Tonight is no different against a floundering Blue Jackets squad that has lost eight of their last ten games (2-7-1) coming into tonight.

CHICAGO Blake Comeau scored twice, Roope Hintz had a goal and three assists and the Dallas Stars beat the Chicago Blackhawks 5-1 on Thursday to end a two-game slide.
Jason Robertson and Miro Heiskanen also scored to help Dallas pull closer in the battle for the fourth place and the final playoff spot in the Central Division. The Stars (14-14-10) have 38 points, but have played just 38 games because a COVID-19 outbreak delayed their start this season.

Interviews with Head Coach Joel Quenneville and forwards Frank Vatrano and Patric Hornqvist

For maybe the first time this season, Joel Quenneville didn t like much of what he saw.
Struggling to execute how they d like at either end of the ice, the Panthers were shut out for just the third time this season during a 3-0 loss to the Hurricanes at PNC Arena on Thursday night. We didn t generate much, the Panthers head coach said. I look over the course of the season, and at Game 41 I think maybe we ve had, you could argue, maybe one other game in this category, or maybe this was our first in this category. We tried, but we weren t very good.
