Blackhawks lineup tonight: Chicago’s projected lineup for game against the Utah Hockey Club | Feb. 25, 2025

Tonight, the Chicago Blackhawks will look to get back in the win column amid a three-game skid when they collide with the Utah Hockey Club. Going back to late-January, Chicago has won just two of its last 10 games, while dropping back-to-back games since the NHL's regular season resumed after the 4 Nations Face-Off.

Despite the fact that the team has struggled to stay over .500 for the year, the Utah Hockey Club is fresh off a 2-1 win over the Vancouver Canucks on Sunday.

Heading into tonight's divisional showdown, Chicago is sitting at the bottom of the divisional standings with 41 points, while Utah (59 points) is sitting in fifth place, just one point ahead of the sixth-place Blues, and nine points behind the fourth-place Avalanche.

With the postseason in sight, Utah sits just four points behind the Canucks in the Western Conference's Wild Card race.
