The post Blackhawks Rinkcast – Season 9 Episode 25 – The Long Weeks Before the Offseason appeared first on The Rink.

Davidson acquired 29-year-old forward Andrew Mangiapane and a conditional 2027 first-round pick from the Edmonton Oilers in exchange for forwards Jason Dickinson and Colton Dach. Chicago will retain 50% of Dickinson’s salary cap hit as part of the trade. As part of the conditions of the trade, the Oilers’ first-round pick is top-12 protected. The trade gives Chicago nine picks in the first two rounds of the next two drafts to go along with their plentiful prospect pipeline.

Mangiapane has had a notoriously contentious stay in Edmonton since signing a two-year, $7.2 million contract with a cap hit of $3.6 million per season on July 1, 2025. He was expected to provide some secondary scoring support, but has only put up 14 points (seven goals, seven assists) in 52 games. Edmonton put him on waivers and sent him to their AHL affiliate, Bakersfield, on Sunday. Mangiapane is under contract through 2026-27.

Chicago will definitely miss Dickinson’s defensive prowess and leadership, as he was one of their alternate captains, and Dach’s youthful physical exuberance, but this is the cost of doing business in the NHL.

Acquiring assets that can be used to either move up in the draft in June or acquire players to help improve their scoring for next season is a necessary evil. Players like AJ Spellacy can step in soon to replace Dach’s physical energy and younger long-term options to replace Dickinson will be available. If Mangiapane can rediscover his scoring touch with a change of scenery, he could be a decent secondary contributor.

Dickinson came to the Blackhawks from the Vancouver Canucks on Oct. 7, 2022, with a 2024 second-round pick for defenseman Riley Stillman. Dickinson is currently third on the Blackhawks in scoring with 21 points (14 goals, seven assists) while shooting 21.2%. Dickinson has 125 career points (53 goals, 72 assists) in his nine NHL seasons (404 regular season games) with the Dallas Stars, Vancouver Canucks and Blackhawks with nine points (five goals, four assists) in 40 career postseason games.

“Jason adds a unique two-way game to our lineup and his compete level is consistently strong every night,” said Blackhawks General Manager Kyle Davidson in a press release. “He’s showing his offensive game this year, which has been a huge lift to our team. His leadership has been instrumental, and the impact has been evident around the room, particularly with our young guys. We’re excited to bring him back and to see him continue to grow with our team.”

The 28-year-old former first-round pick of the Stars will bring some more veteran leadership and stability in the middle of the lineup and ensure that the team is securely over the salary cap floor while Davidson navigates this tricky rebuild. Ideally, he would end up as a third- or fourth-line player when this team is competing for playoff positions.

The Blackhawks host the San Jose Sharks tonight in a battle for the bottom. The puck drop is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. CST.

First period

In a fast-moving first period, Kevin Korchinski and Arvid Soderblom made two egregious mistakes in their own zone, but thankfully neither led to a Leafs goal. The Leafs did eventually break through with a goal from Nicholas Robertson. Maxi Domi fed a pass that went through five red sweater to Robertson, who buried the shot.

The Leafs’ lead did not last long, as Jason Dickinson scored the equalizer at 12 minutes remaining in the period.

After allowing the early goal, Soderblom settled in to withstand the rest of the Toronto barrage in the period. The period ended with the score tied at 1–1 despite the Hawks being outshot 15–6.

Second period

The second period started with the Blackhawks and Leafs playing 4-on-4 hockey, The Leafs broke the tie with a goal from Calle Jarnkrok. Jarnkrok got a cross-ice pass from TJ Brodie that led to the tap-in.

Less than three minutes later, the Leafs padded their lead. Ryan Reaves tapped in a backdoor shot to give the Leafs a 3–1 lead. After weathering another storm from the Leafs, the Hawks got their second goal of the game from Dickinson.

After the second Dickinson goal, the Hawks got some great shifts from the Connor Bedard line and a shift lead by Alex Vlasic. The Hawks controlled the end of the period, keeping the score at 3–2 Leafs after 40 minutes.

Third period

In the third period, the Dickinson line got the puck deep into the Toronto line. Nick Foligno forced a turnover, which squibbed out to Dickinson, who buried the puck for his first career hat trick.

After the skirmish, there were two Hawks and two Leafs in the box but no power play. It started getting really chippy afterwards. Regulation ended with the score tied at 3–3.

Overtime

This overtime period was chaos, with quality chances on both sides—the best being William Nylander hitting the post and cross bar on a breakaway. Soderblom made some great saves in overtime to keep the Hawks in this game. After the Soderblom save, the Hawks controlled the puck and got the game-winner from Korchinski after the puck bounced off the end glass and the top of the net following a Bedard slot shot.

The victory would give the Hawks a season sweep against Toronto after beating the Leafs in Toronto during Chicago’s season-opening road trip.

Analysis

The Hawks’ young defensemen were outmatched by the high-flying Leafs early in the game. In addition to the defense being outmatched, Soderblom did not trust the defense to cover up for him, leading him to overcompensate for their errors. His overcompensation led to easy tap-in goals for the Leafs early. He did settle in and make great save after great save to give the Hawks the victory.

The Hawks’ best line of the game was the third line with Anderson, Dickinson and Nick Foligno. They generated three goals and several good shifts. The line brought energy and scoring, which caused the rest of the team to work hard. The Hawks outworked the Leafs in this game to overcome the two-goal deficit and tie in the third period. Dickinson also became the first Ontario-born player to have a hat trick against the Leafs since Perry did it in 2015.

Vlasic and Isaak Phillips turned in solid games from the blue line and made some plays in the offensive zone. This game was the mark of a Luke Richardson-led team; the team worked hard and got the win.

The Blackhawks were also able to hold Nylander pointless in the contest, snapping Nylander’s 17-game point streak to open the season.

The Hawks’ next game is Sunday against the St. Louis Blues. Puck drop is at 1 p.m. CST.
