WGN Radio’s Charlie Roumeliotis breaks down the Blackhawks’ 4-0 shutout loss to the Detroit Red Wings at the United Center in their first game of the season without Connor Bedard. Steve Konroyd joins the discussion to talk about Bedard’s absence being felt, how they’re going to move forward without him, and more.

Later, we hear from Nick Lardis, Ryan Donato, and head coach Jeff Blashill. Plus, Charlie shares his thoughts on Patrick Kane’s two-point performance and whether or not he could be on Team USA’s radar for the 2026 Olympics.

Charlie wraps up the show by providing a Blackhawks prospect update on Sam Rinzel and previewing Chicago’s next matchup against the Toronto Maple Leafs on Tuesday to kick off a three-game road trip.
