The Chicago Blackhawks will begin their quest to return to the playoffs Oct. 4 in Ottawa against the Senators to open their 2018-19 regular-season at Canadian Tire Centre.
The Blackhawks finished with a 33-19-10 record last season, and missed the playoffs for the first time since 2008.
Chicago went 2-0 against Ottawa last season, with a 8-2 victory Jan. 9 in the Canadian capital city before a 3-2 shootout win Feb. 21 at home.
After their 2018-19 season opener, the Hawks will travel to St. Louis on Oct. 6 before hosting the Toronto Maple Leafs for their home opener at the United Center.
