The Chicago Blackhawks finished October at 4-9-1. From Roman Kantserov's scoring to Bowen Byram's injury, here's the good, bad, and ugly of Chicago's first month of the 2026-27 season.
Writer Ryan Gagne recaps the Chicago Blackhawks' difficult opening month of the 2026-27 NHL season, which ended with a 4-9-1 record. Gagne highlights rookie Roman Kantserov's five goals in 14 games as a bright spot for the team, tying him for the rookie lead alongside James Hagens and Gavin McKenna despite a minus-9 rating.
On the negative side, Gagne argues that Chicago's offensive struggles leave the team sitting 31st in the NHL standings. Additionally, offseason acquisition Bowen Byram suffered an upper-body injury, limiting him to six games and one assist following his major contract signing.
