"In case you missed it - I'm envious if you did not watch the Blackhawks' game last night - the biggest news coming from the event wasn't the lifeless first period performance that buried Chicago. It was defenseman Wyatt Kaiser needing assistance to leave the ice early in the game after his leg/knee were landed on awkwardly. This doesn't look great https://t.co/83esyCY5mZ pic.twitter.com/uDd1jg2EFY- BHF (@BlackhawksFocus) February 5, 2026"
"After the game, Blackhawks head coach Jeff Blashill wasn't as positive as you would want when asked about Kaiser's injury. While he said the issue that caused forward Colton Dach to also leave the game prematurely wasn't major (he's day-to-day), the only update he would provide on Kaiser was: Wyatt Kaiser will likely be out "a bit", per Blashill.- Scott Powers (@ByScottPowers) February 5, 2026"
"If we can find any silver lining to this storm cloud, it is that the Blackhawks don't practice again for two weeks, and their next game isn't until Feb. 26. Unfortunately, watching the injury feels like it isn't a good injury. The last time Blashill was willing to say a guy would miss some time (if that's "definitive") was when Frank Nazar got hit in the jaw by a puck."
Defenseman Wyatt Kaiser left the Blackhawks' game early after his leg/knee was landed on awkwardly and required assistance to exit the ice. Head coach Jeff Blashill said Kaiser will likely be out "a bit" and gave only a brief update, while describing forward Colton Dach as day-to-day. The team does not practice for two weeks and next plays Feb. 26. The NHL Trade Deadline falls 12 days after the season resumes, and many teams are expected to engage in trade talks once the Olympic trade freeze lifts. Kaiser has been one of Chicago's more consistent defensemen this season.
