Blackhawks’ National Schedule Is Loaded With Excitement

The Chicago Blackhawks are expected to be a much better team in 2024-25. They won’t be Stanley Cup contenders but the evolution of Connor Bedard and other young players will be interesting to watch. Along with them will be some new faces who are veterans from around the league. 

On Thursday, we learned of their national TV schedule which will feature the Hawks in some of the most exciting matchups that the league has to offer. They have a total of 15 scheduled national TV games.

That’s not bad for being the 32nd and 31st-place finisher out of 32 over the last two seasons. The Connor Bedard effect is very real. People around the country want to see him play and the proof is how often this team will be available to watch nationally. 

It will all start with their first game of the season. The first-ever game for the Utah Hockey Club will be their nationally televised home game against the Hawks. This should be a brilliant way for two young and exciting teams to kick off the NHL slate.

Other notable games on this nationally televised schedule include some Original Six matchups against the Detroit Red Wings, Boston Bruins, and New York Rangers.

They also have some big rivalry games against the Nashville Predators, St. Louis Blues, and Dallas Stars. It also has some marquee matchups against the Colorado Avalanche, New Jersey Devils, and Pittsburgh Penguins who both have incredible players to see play against Bedard.

It is an exciting time to be a part of the Chicago Blackhawks. They aren’t going to be the best team in the league but they will surely be fun to see take another step.
