We’re getting into one of the busier portions of the NHL offseason this week, and more Chicago Blackhawks news has come out today. Coach Joel Quenneville’s crew will open its 2018-19 home slate with a matchup against the Toronto Maple Leafs, on April 7 at the United Center.
To be clear, the press release on the Blackhawks’ website doesn’t say whether or not this game will open the Blackhawks’ regular season at large. The entire 2018-19 slate is set to come out tomorrow, so this tilt with the Leafs could be the second regular-season event, perhaps.
Regardless, it’s a cool matchup early in the year.
