The Chicago Blackhawks are expected to officially hire Jeff Blashill as their new head coach soon, raising questions about the future of interim coach Anders Sorensen, who may remain with the team either as an assistant or return to AHL Rockford. Sorensen has been with the organization since 2014, steadily advancing through the ranks, and although the team finished the season with a 17-30-9 record under him, he has shown familiarity and comfort within the club. The Blackhawks are set to have their fifth coach in as many years, highlighting ongoing coaching instability.
