Full Gameday Preview: Familiar Face Returns to Chicago
This afternoon, the Canadiens come to town to faceoff against the Blackhawks for their first meeting of the season.
Today's game is one for all Hawks fans to watch as it marks the return of Kirby Dach, who the Blackhawks traded on draft day this past summer for the 13th and 66th overall draft picks.
The Blackhawks are coming off of a tough loss in Dallas as they suffered a monumental third period collapse. The Hawks blew a 4-1 lead in the third and ended up falling 6-4.
