The Chicago Blackhawks enter the Christmas break on a six-game losing streak and at the bottom of the NHL standings. Not exactly a holiday miracle.

Chicago Blackhawks center Frank Nazar will miss an estimated four weeks after being hit in the face with the puck in a 6-4 loss to the Ottawa Senators on Saturday.

In three games with the Rockford IceHogs, Sam Rinzel looks like he's getting that swagger with the puck back.

The Chicago Blackhawks lost to the Detroit Red Wings 4-0 on Saturday in their first game without injured star Connor Bedard. It was their fourth loss in five games.

With Connor Bedard out for at least Saturday's game because of a shoulder injury, someone on the Chicago Blackhawks roster will need to fill the star center's skates.

The Chicago Blackhawks posted a wire-to-wire 3-0 victory over the New York Rangers in their return from a West Coast trip.

Defenseman Sam Rinzel was assigned to the AHL's Rockford IceHogs after a collection of lackluster games. The move is an opportunity for him to "get his swagger back."
