Because there’s nothing else going on for us to pay attention to right now, the NHL announced each team’s home opener. The Chicago Blackhawks will have a hyped matchup of… teams that were awful last year.
Connor Bedard and the Blackhawks will host Macklin Celebrini (in theory) and the San Jose Sharks on Oct. 17 in the Blackhawks’ United Center opener for the 2024-25 season.
The rest of the NHL’s regular season schedule is being announced on Tuesday.
