The 2021–22 Chicago Blackhawks season was the 96th season for the National Hockey League franchise that was established on September 25, 1926.[2] The Blackhawks were led by Jeremy Colliton until he was fired on November 6, 2021, after the team started with a 1–9–2 record; he has been replaced by interim coach Derek King.[3]

After the prior season was shortened and realigned due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic,[4][5] the NHL announced that divisions and conferences would be used for the season.[6] Realignment of divisions occurred as the Seattle Kraken began their first season in the Pacific Division while the Arizona Coyotes moved to the Central Division.[7]

The Blackhawks were eliminated from playoff contention of April 5, 2022, after wins by the Dallas Stars and Nashville Predators.[8]

Off-season

[edit]

Trades and acquisitions

[edit]

The Blackhawks traded two-time Norris Trophy-winner Duncan Keith to Edmonton on July 12, 2021, after 16 years with the Hawks.[9][10] The Hawks received Caleb Jones, brother of Columbus defenseman Seth Jones in the trade.[11] On July 23, the Hawks acquired Seth Jones from Columbus and signed him to an eight-year extension.[12] Four days later, goaltender Marc-André Fleury was traded by Vegas to the Blackhawks.[13]

Return of Toews

[edit]

Blackhawk captain Jonathan Toews returned to the team for the season after missing the entire 2020–21 season due to an undisclosed injury which was later revealed to be chronic immune response syndrome.[14]

Season summary

[edit]

Sexual assault allegations

[edit]

In June 2021, Kyle Beach (who did not disclose his name until after the Blackhawks released their report), a former Blackhawks prospect, filed a lawsuit against the Blackhawks organization for failing to file a proper police report or properly handle his report that he was sexually assaulted by video coach Brad Aldrich during the 2010 Stanley Cup playoffs.[15] On October 26, the Blackhawks released the findings of the investigation conducted by Jenner & Block and announced general manager/president of hockey operations Stan Bowman and senior vice president of hockey operations Al MacIsaac resigned.[15] The Blackhawks promoted Kyle Davidson to serve as their interim general manager,[15] and then formally named him general manager on March 1, 2022.[16] The team also received a $2-million fine from the NHL for failing to adequately and timely address Beach's allegations.[17]

Poor start and firing of Jeremy Colliton

[edit]

Opening their season with six straight losses, the Blackhawks broke a 51-year-old NHL record previously held by the 1970–71 California Golden Seals for the most minutes played at the start of a season without holding a lead.[18] At nine consecutive losses, the Blackhawks set a new record for worst season start in franchise history in a 1–0 loss to the St. Louis Blues on October 30, 2021.[19]

Colliton was fired following the team's 11th loss of the season and with a record 1–9–2.[20] King won his first game as head coach on November 7.[21]
