Blackhawks lineup tonight: Chicago's projected lineup for game against Boston Bruins | April 10, 2025

The Chicago Blackhawks (22-46-10) will look to return to the win column when they face the Boston Bruins (32-38-9) on Thursday in a cross-conference matchup on the road. In their most recent outing, Chicago was shutout by the Pittsburgh Penguins, which came on the heels of a 3-1 win over Pittsburgh just days before.

Chicago is currently at the bottom of the Central Division standings and has posted a 2-7-1 record over their last ten games.

With the team mathematically eliminated from the playoffs, this is poised to be the fifth year in a row that the team has missed the postseason.

The last time Chicago made it to the playoffs was during the 2020 season.

Looking at the previous meetings between the Blackhawks and the Bruins, as well as upcoming games on Chicago's schedule

Thursday's game between the Blackhawks and the Bruins will be the second and final meeting of the regular season between these two teams.

In early December, the two sides faced off in Chicago, with the Bruins picking up a 4-2 win that extended Chicago's losing streak at the time to four, and dropped their record to 8-16-2.

The game notably saw Petr Mrazek, who has since been traded, handle net-minding duties for Chicago, while on the flip side, Boston received a huge lift from veteran Brad Marchand, who logged two goals.

With both Mrazek and Marchand on different teams, it'll be interesting to see how things play out in Thursday's rematch.

Following tonight's game, Chicago will return home to host the Winnipeg Jets in a divisional showdown on Saturday. The team will then hit the road, facing off with the Montreal Canadiens and the Ottawa Senators next week to wrap up their regular season schedule.
