Blackhawks lineup tonight: Chicago’s projected lineup for game against Minnesota Wild | Jan. 26 2025

The Chicago Blackhawks will look to get back in the win column after back-to-back losses when they take on the Minnesota Wild in a divisional showdown on Sunday. While Chicago is heading into the game amid a two-game skid, the Minnesota Wild will take to this ice on the second night of a back-to-back after facing the Calgary Flames on Saturday.

With the postseason in sight, it's become clear that the Blackhawks are well outside of the Wild Card race and postseason contention. The Wild on the other hand are in the mix for a top spot in the Central Division, with a wild card spot in the Stanley Cup playoffs looking like a safety net for the team.

Heading into tonight's game, Chicago is sitting at the bottom of the divisional standings, a few wins outside of seventh place. The Blackhawks have gone 3-4-3 in their last ten games.
