The Blackhawks enter this one having just beaten the Minnesota Wild 4-3 in overtime on Monday, although it wasn’t exactly the cleanest victory.

And while the Chicago Blackhawks played more or less their full NHL lineup, they’re entering the season as the Central Division’s reigning last-place team.
