The Chicago Blackhawks have been rumored to face the Edmonton Oilers in Round 1 of the 2020 Stanley Cup Playoffs, if the new proposal passes.
The Chicago Blackhawks are currently the last place team in the Central Division, but they are within the Top 12 teams of the Western Conference, which gives them a playoff spot if the NHL does a 24-team playoff.
The round one rumored matchup is against the Oilers, a team the Blackhawks have played well against in the past, going 2-1 against them this season.
