On the latest Blackhawks Live presented by Circa Sports Illinois, WGN Radio’s Charlie Roumeliotis and Jack Heinrich break down the Connor Bedard vs. Macklin Celebrini showdown and take a closer look at the Chicago and San Jose rebuilds as a whole. Are the two teams on a collision course to become Western Conference powerhouses once they reach their peak?

Later in the show, Mike Palm from Circa joins to discuss the latest NHL trends and storylines, including the Florida Panthers’ slipping playoff odds, the Artemi Panarin sweepstakes, and an early Olympic preview.

Charlie and Jack close out the show by giving Connor Murphy some love after playing what could have been his final game at the United Center as a member of the Blackhawks on Monday.
