But suffice it to say that the 2025 No. 3 overall pick has afforded himself quite well in several aspects of the game through these initial five outings, and the point-per-game pace he\u2019s currently on (1 G, 4 A) is very well deserved. <\/p>\n Anton Frondell on playing at the United Center for the first time:<\/p>\n “[It was] incredible. Back on the road trip, when we played in Madison Square Garden and different arenas, I thought, ‘Oh shit, this is pretty good.’ But they said, ‘Wait til you get back at home.’<\/p>\n “I know what\u2026<\/p>\n \u2014 Ben Pope (@BenPopeCST) April 1, 2026<\/a> <\/p>\n We can also point out that Frondell\u2019s responsible for covering the player who scored the winner in OT without condemning him too harshly for it. Just don\u2019t make it a habit, kid. <\/p>\n Would not have expected Frondell\u2019s positioning between to Bertuzzi and Mikheyev to make for Chicago\u2019s best line in this game but it absolutely did. That trio had all three of the Hawks goals while generating an expected goal share of about 81 percent in 11:58 of 5-on-5 ice time together. We\u2019ll take that. <\/p>\n On the other end of things: giving Nick Lardis some run with Connor Bedard and Ryan Greene seemed like a solid plan on paper, but the results haven\u2019t quite lived up to that so far. Another slower night for that group, which generated just two shots on goal in 10:58 at 5-on-5. <\/p>\n Speaking of high draft picks, the play below was a personal favorite of Kevin Korchinski\u2019s from this game, as he attacks the puck carrier at his own blue line, which halts a developing 3-on-2 and leads to an excellent Ryan Greene chance at the other end of the ice. <\/p>\n [image or embed]<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 Dave Melton (@davemelton.bsky.social<\/a>) March 31, 2026 at 8:44 PM<\/a><\/p>\n Korchinski seemed to make a good amount of smart, solid plays like that all evening \u2014 which is absolutely a good thing. But we still haven\u2019t seen him make plays at the other end of the rink, and it is that dynamic offensive potential which made him a No. 7 overall pick. Here\u2019s hoping we get some glimpses of that before the season ends, because it\u2019d go a looooooooong way towards restoring faith in Korchinski\u2019s long-term standing here. <\/p>\n His line was quieter overall, but Frank Nazar continues to pop off the screen in ways that\u2019ll offer more optimism his slumps from the winter were injury-related and will be a thing of the past come next season. <\/p>\n Hated everything about what the Blackhawks did during the 5-on-3 in the third period. Too much standing around, too much passing, too much looking for a one-timer and not enough player movement. Watch below to see how the Hawks scored a crucial 5-on-3 goal against New Jersey on Sunday: <\/p>\n FRANK NAZAR’S \u270c\ufe0f OF THE NIGHT!!!<\/p>\n A slick fake shot from Anton Frondell helps start the play! pic.twitter.com\/rAhemm1VGf<\/a><\/p>\n
