The 2003–04 Chicago Blackhawks season was the 78th season of operation of the Chicago Blackhawks in the National Hockey League.

Offseason[]

Regular season[]

On December 11, 2003, Mark Bell scored just 15 seconds into the overtime period to give the Blackhawks a 4–3 home win over the Detroit Red Wings.[1] The Sabres' Derek Roy would match that mark in the overtime period on March 17, 2004, in a 4–3 Buffalo road win over the Atlanta Thrashers.[2] Both goals would prove to be the fastest overtime goals scored during the 2003–04 NHL regular season.[3] In February, Captain Alexei Zhamnov was traded to the Philadelphia Flyers. The team chooses not to name a replacement, for the rest of the season.
