We had so much fun doing our Countdown to Faceoff series last season that we decided to do it again. In case you’re new to the series, we’ll do a roster preview as we count down the days until the Chicago Blackhawks raise their 6th Stanley Cup Banner on October 7th season opener against the New York Rangers.
We reach 85 days until banner raising, and when you hit a round number like #85 you expect either nobody has worn the number or someone wore it and did it well, but neither is the case for #85 in Chicago Blackhawks franchise history.
