Connor Bedard: "I almost missed."

Another game where Landon Slaggert is getting his chances. Will he learn to finish, though? www.nytimes.com/athletic/698...

Burakovsky’s status is unknown for tonight. Blashill hopes he feels better by game time.

Blackhawks winger Landon Slaggert is 2nd only to Tyler Bertuzzi in creating scoring chances over the last 6 games. Slaggert's arguably playing his best in the NHL to date. He knows the next step has to be finishing those chances. My story on Slaggert: www.nytimes.com/athletic/698...

Blackhawks prospect Sacha Boisvert was given an additional two-game suspension by Hockey East for fighting in a recent Boston University game: www.nytimes.com/athletic/697...

Frank Nazar appears as if he’ll be a full practice participant.

The current Blackhawks seek their own success, but the Banner Years’ celebration was a reminder of what was before them and what’s possible. That plus last night’s game with @marklazerus.bsky.social: www.nytimes.com/athletic/698...

FINAL: Blackhawks lose to the Bruins, 5-2, and drop their third in a row.

5-2, Bruins

Bruins score on the power play, 4-2

Bruins go ahead 3-2

The Bruins even it at 2-2.

The Blackhawks lead the Bruins 2-0 after one period. Bruins up 8-6 in shots on goal.

Wyat Kaiser makes it 2-0

Ryan Greene with the goal just after the power play expired, 1-0

Söderblom has been stellar in the first eight minutes. He just denied another great chance. He has seven saves.

Blackhawks loose defensively early. Bruins have already had three quality chances.

With the Blackhawks celebrating their 2010, 2013 and 2015 Stanley Cup teams this weekend, ⁦ @marklazerus.bsky.social and I attempted to track down what those players are up to now: www.nytimes.com/athletic/697...

The final Western Conference playoff spots are very much still up for grabs. The Blackhawks have done well enough so far to put themselves in that mix. It's why they can't have games like last night. My story from a winnable game the Blackhawks lost: www.nytimes.com/athletic/697...

Flames with an empty-netter, 3-1.

Connor Bedard has had his share of good looks tonight. He has seven shot attempts, including three on goal.

The Blackhawks with a crowd of 16,652 tonight. It's their smallest crowd since October.

There were 10 penalties between the two teams in the second period.

Hunt got two for roughing, Donato got four for roughing, Levshunov got two for roughing.

The Flames lead the Blackhawks 2-1 after one period. Hawks up 9-6 in shots on goal.

The Flames have just four shots on goal through 15:48 of the first period, but two of them have gone in.

Two sloppy power plays for the Blackhawks

Burakovsky gets the puck taken from him and Backlund beats Knight on the breakaway for the shorthanded goal. It's 2-1, Flames.

Foligno draws a penalty and the Blackhawks get their first power play.

The Blackhawks were 16 for 16 on the penalty kill in their last seven games entering today.

Flames score 10 seconds into a Grzelcyk penalty and it's tied 1-1 at 3:14 of the first period.

Dach comes up the left side, hits Foligno in the high slot and Foligno shoots it into the right corner.

Colton Dach to Nick Foligno, 1-0

Oliver Moore played soccer up until his sophomore year of high school. His grandfather wrote a WWII book. Does he look at the NHL Edge to see how fast he's skating? You know it. That and more from Moore in my Q&A with the Blackhawks forward: www.nytimes.com/athletic/697...

Continuing our series of getting to know the Blackhawks’ young players, Oliver Moore is featured today: www.nytimes.com/athletic/697...

Could Connor Murphy be traded this season? He’s been around the Blackhawks long enough to know anything is possible. @marklazerus.bsky.social with the story: www.nytimes.com/athletic/696...

Teuvo Teräväinen will not play tomorrow. There will be a further update after that.

The Chicago Bears' success gives the Blackhawks players a glimpse of what the city could be like for them in the future. Story from @marklazerus.bsky.social: www.nytimes.com/athletic/696...

Caleb Williams reached out to Connor Bedard last summer "just to say what's up." Now Bedard and his Blackhawks teammates want what Williams and the Bears have: The undivided attention and affection of a sports-crazed city that's madly in love. My column: www.nytimes.com/athletic/696...

Observations from the Blackhawks’ loss to the Capitals: www.nytimes.com/athletic/695...

Blashill said he’s unsure what goalies will be available to him tomorrow.

FINAL: The Blackhawks lose 5-1 to the Capitals, snapping a four-game winning streak.

It'll be interesting to see whether Spencer Knight or Arvid Söderblom can travel to Nashville either tonight with the team or tomorrow. The short flight probably helps.

Ovechkin, 5-1
