The Chicago Blackhawks visit the Vancouver Canucks on Sunday at Rogers Arena, with puck drop scheduled for 8:00 PM ET. The regular-season matchup marks the first time the two clubs face each other during the 2026-2027 season.

Chicago enters the contest with a 4-13-1 record and is winless in six consecutive games, going 0-5-1 during that span. The Blackhawks dropped a 5-4 overtime decision at the Boston Bruins before losing four straight regulation contests: 5-2 against the Colorado Avalanche, 5-3 at the Florida Panthers, 4-1 at the Tampa Bay Lightning, and 9-2 at the Carolina Hurricanes.

Vancouver holds a 3-15-1 record and carries a five-game losing streak into Sunday, going 0-5-0 across those outings. The Canucks lost 3-2 at the San Jose Sharks, 4-2 against the Toronto Maple Leafs, 5-4 against the Anaheim Ducks, 6-2 at the Winnipeg Jets, and 4-2 at the Edmonton Oilers.

Both teams will aim to break out of their slumps as they open their season series against one another in Vancouver. Chicago seeks its fifth win of the season, while Vancouver looks to collect its fourth victory on home ice.
