Blackhawks’ February schedule updated, with 7 games rescheduled

The NHL announced Wednesday its reconstructed schedule for February, filling in what was originally intended to be the Olympic break.

For the Blackhawks, that update meant their six previously postponed games were all given new dates, and one other upcoming game was also moved.

After the All-Star Break from Feb. 3-6, the Hawks will play three consecutive road games, visiting the Oilers on Feb. 9, the Blues on Feb. 12 and the Jets on Feb. 14.

The Blues road matchup had been scheduled for Jan. 30 until Wednesday’s update; the Oilers and Jets matchups were previously postponed.

The Hawks will then return home for a three-games-in-four-nights stretch, all at the United Center, when they host the Blue Jackets on Feb. 17, Stars on Feb. 18 and Panthers on Feb. 20.

All three of those games had been previously postponed. They carry into a preexisting three-game home stand that starts with hosting the Devils on Feb. 25, functionally extending it to a six-game home stand.

Finally, the Hawks’ previously postponed home game against the Flames was tucked into the late-season schedule on April 18.
