It appears the Chicago Blackhawks are staying the course amid some choppy waters.
Jeff Blashill will remain as Blackhawks' head coach as the team has opted not to make a coaching change, The Athletic's Scott Powers reported on Sunday.
The Blackhawks, in a rebuild for the better part of a decade, were intending this to be a season in which they turned a corner. Instead, they've started the year 4-13-1 — better only than the lowly Vancouver Canucks in the Western Conference. Things hit a low point with a 9-2 loss to the Carolina Hurricanes on Saturday night.
The Blackhawks were off Sunday and don't play again until Thursday, which led many to wonder whether regime change is imminent.
Instead, it appears general manager Kyle Davidson is giving Blashill some more time to right the ship.
The former Detroit Red Wings coach was hired by Chicago ahead of the 2025-26 season. The Blackhawks missed the playoffs for the sixth consecutive season with a 29-39-14 record.
