The Chicago Blackhawks (10-9-5) wrap up their four-game homestand to conclude November against the Anaheim Ducks (15-8-1) at the United Center on Sunday afternoon.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s the second of three meetings between the Blackhawks and Ducks this season, with Chicago winning the first matchup 2-1 in overtime on Oct. 19. Mason McTavish tied the game 1-1 with under a minute remaining in regulation, but Ryan Donato tallied the overtime winner for the Blackhawks. That game marked the first time that Joel Quenneville had returned to the United Center since being hired as the Ducks\u2019 head coach.<\/p>\n
Last time out, the Blackhawks dropped a fifth consecutive game with a 4-3 loss to the Nashville Predators. After taking a 1-0 lead into the first intermission, the Predators rallied in the second period to grab the lead and never looked back. Donato, Ryan Greene, and Teuvo Teravainen were the goal scorers for Chicago. Arvid Soderblom stopped 25 of 29 shots faced to earn the loss in goal.<\/p>\n
The Ducks, currently first in the Pacific Division, are coming off a 5-4 comeback win over the Los Angeles Kings in their last time out on Friday. The Kings led 4-2 early in the third period, but the Ducks rallied for two late goals and pulled out the extra point in the shootout. Leo Carlsson scored his 13th goal of the season and added two assists. Chris Kreider, Olen Zellweger, and Pavel Mintyukov were the other goal scorers for Anaheim.<\/p>\n
Here\u2019s everything to note before puck drops at 2:30 p.m. CT in Chicago.<\/p>\n
Blackhawks Regular Season Notes (Last Five Games)<\/p>\n
After leading 2-0 through two periods, the Blackhawks<\/a> surrendered three unanswered goals in the third to fall 3-2 to the Seattle Kraken. A controversial penalty call also impacted the outcome at the United Center.<\/p>\n Well, that wasn\u2019t very good. The Blackhawks suffered their worst loss of the season in the back end of their back-to-back, falling 9-3 to the Buffalo Sabres<\/a> in embarrassing fashion. It\u2019s the first time the Blackhawks have allowed nine goals in a game since 2011.<\/p>\n The Blackhawks<\/a> went toe-to-toe with the NHL\u2019s top team, the Colorado Avalanche, but still had their losing streak extended to three games. Scott Wedgewood got the better of Spencer Knight in a goaltending duel at the United Center.<\/p>\n Another red-hot Central Division opponent, the Minnesota Wild, came into the United Center on Wednesday. Similar to Sunday, the Blackhawks outplayed the Wild for most of the night, but their losing streak was extended to four games with a 4-3 overtime loss<\/a>. Another controversial call helped Kirill Kaprizov net the overtime winner on the power play.<\/p>\n The losing streak has reached five games after another one-goal loss on home ice to a Central Division opponent. The Blackhawks were defeated 4-3<\/a> by the last-place Nashville Predators. It\u2019s been a dreadful start to the four-game homestand.<\/p>\n Projected Blackhawks Lineup<\/p>\n Forward Lines<\/p>\n Ryan Greene \u2014 Connor Bedard \u2013 Andre Burakovsky<\/p>\n Teuvo Tervainen \u2014 Frank Nazar \u2014 Tyler Bertuzzi<\/p>\n Ryan Donato \u2014 Jason Dickinson \u2014 Ilya Mikheyev<\/p>\n Colton Dach \u2014 Oliver Moore<\/p>\n Defensive Pairings<\/p>\n Alex Vlasic-Louis Crevier<\/p>\n Wyatt Kaiser-Artyom Levshunov<\/p>\n Matt Grzelcyk-Connor Murphy<\/p>\n Sam Rinzel<\/p>\n Scratched<\/p>\n F \u2014 Sam Lafferty, F \u2014 Landon Slaggert<\/p>\n Injured<\/p>\n G \u2014 Laurent Brossoit (hip), F \u2014 Nick Foligno (hand)<\/p>\n ***<\/p>\n The Blackhawks will not hold a morning skate on Sunday, so their official lineup is to be determined.<\/p>\n Teuvo Teravainen is listed as questionable after missing Saturday\u2019s practice session. Should Teravainen play, the Blackhawks will likely use the same lineup as Friday against Nashville.<\/p>\n If Teravainen doesn\u2019t play, Landon Slaggert will likely draw into the lineup. Slaggert and Sam Lafferty are expected to be the two healthy scratches.<\/p>\n Ducks Projected Lineup<\/p>\n Forward Lines<\/p>\n Cutter Gauthier \u2014 Leo Carlsson \u2014 Troy Terry<\/p>\n Chris Kreider \u2014 Mason McTavish \u2014 Beckett Sennecke<\/p>\n Nikita Nesterenko \u2014 Ryan Poehling \u2014 Alex Killorn<\/p>\n Ross Johnston \u2014 Ryan Strome \u2014 Frank Vatrano<\/p>\n Defensive Pairings<\/p>\n Jackson LaCombe-Radko Gudas<\/p>\n Olen Zellweger-Jacob Trouba<\/p>\n Pavel Mintyukov-Drew Helleson<\/p>\n Scratched<\/p>\n F \u2014 Jansen Harkins, D \u2014 Ian Moore<\/p>\n Injured<\/p>\n G \u2014 Lukas Dostal (upper body), F \u2014 Mikael Granlund (lower body)<\/p>\n Projected Goaltending Matchup<\/p>\n Spencer Knight (7-5-4, 2.47 GAA, .920 Sv%, 1 SO) vs. Petr Mrazek (3-3-0, 3.69 GAA, .881 Sv%, 0 SO)<\/p>\n Knight is set to make his 17th start of the season in net for the Blackhawks. The 24-year-old stopped 20 of 24 shots faced to earn the loss to the Minnesota Wild in his last appearance on Sunday. Knight is 4-0-0 with a 0.99 GAA, .968 Sv%, and two shutouts in four career starts against Anaheim.<\/p>\n Mrazek will make his seventh start of the season for the Ducks. The former Blackhawks goaltender stopped 23 of 27 shots in a 5-4 loss to the Vancouver Canucks in his most recent start on Wednesday. Mrazek is 5-2-2 with a 2.57 GAA, .918 Sv%, and two shutouts in 10 career starts against Chicago.<\/p>\n 2025-26 Results vs. Ducks<\/p>\n Sunday marks the second of three meetings between the Blackhawks and Ducks in the 2025-26 season.
