Grading Every Chicago Blackhawks Player’s 2025-26 Season

Some were great year-round, some were inconsistent. Some started hot and ended cold, and some did the opposite. Let’s take a look at how each player did with the help of the following criteria and grading system: Finished the season with the team Minimum 25 games played Minimum 10 games played with the team for midseason acquisitions via trade or signing Players that did not meet this criterion include Sacha Boisvert , Kevin Korchinski , Ethan Del Mastro , Dominic Toninato , and, of course, any player that was dealt at the trade deadline .

Grading is based on expectations and/or true quality, meaning the following: A: Smashed expectations / played at an extremely high-level B: Above expectations / positive player C: Met expectations / not much of a needle mover D: Below expectations / poor player F: Extremely disappointing / buy-out candidate Blackhawks With an ‘A’ Grade View this post on Instagram Spencer Knight – A+ 55 GP: 19 wins – 2. 82 GAA – . 902 SV% The Blackhawks have their starting netminder for the time being.

Knight faced the fourth-most shots against in the league , and he handled it like a champ in his first full season as a starter. The Boston College alum stood on his head in many games and consistently gave the players in front of him a chance. With a maturing defensive core, Knight could very well be a Vezina candidate in the near future.

Connor Bedard – A 69 GP: 30 goals – 75 points There isn’t much to be said about Bedard’s game this season. Without a freak midseason accident resulting in a lengthy time missed due to injury , Bedard very well could have pushed for the 4o goal, 100-point mark. Wrapping up his final under-21 season, Bedard is possibly the best in franchise history in that age group.
