Here are Three Things to Watch when the Blackhawks take on the Calgary Flames tonight on NBC Sports Chicago and streaming live on the NBC Sports app. Coverage begins at 8:30 p.m. with Blackhawks Pregame Live featuring Pat Boyle, Brian Campbell and Eddie Olczyk.

So Joel Quenneville is going back to that trio in an effort to rekindle some of that magic they had earlier in the year.
