The Chicago Blackhawks are set to shine on the national stage with an impressive lineup of national broadcasts, a phenomenon aptly termed the "Connor Bedard Effect." These games will be split between TNT and ESPN, along with three exclusive matchups on ESPN+/Hulu platforms.
The action begins on October 10th, as the Blackhawks face the Pittsburgh Penguins in an ESPN tripleheader opener. Subsequent highlights include clashes with the Boston Bruins, Colorado Avalanche, and Edmonton Oilers. The team's broader exposure is a shift from their usual home broadcasts on NBC Sports Chicago.
Ticket sales for the new season commence on August 31st, with the first preseason game scheduled for September 28th against the St. Louis Blues. Blackhawks enthusiasts can look forward to an exciting season, witnessing their team under the national spotlight.
