Blackhawks lineup tonight: Chicago’s projected lineup for game against the Colorado Avalanche | April 2, 2025

Tonight, the Chicago Blackhawks will host the Colorado Avalanche as the team looks to snap a three-game skid that most recently saw it fall 5-2 to the Utah Hockey Club on Sunday.

Chicago has struggled to find its rhythm as of late, winning just one of the last 10 games. While the team was able to pick up a 7-4 win over the Philadelphia Flyers on March 23, which snapped a seven-game skid, the team has since lost three in a row to the Devils, Golden Knights and Utah Hockey Club.

Between its standing in both the Central Division and the Western Conference, Chicago's hopes of clinching a spot in the postseason are nonexistent, with more than 30 points separating it from a Wild Card berth.
