The Chicago Blackhawks and St. Louis Blues are playing in an extremely important game that also has a special broadcast team for the match.
The Chicago Blackhawks and St. Louis Blues are about to renew one of the oldest rivalries in the league. Each team has won the Stanley Cup in the last decade and each team sees this game as a big game for different reasons. The Blues are trying to hold off the Colorado Avalanche for the Central Division lead. They want to avoid the Dallas Stars in the first round so winning the Division is important to them. Meanwhile, Chicago just wants to make the playoffs in general.
The fun in this game goes beyond the teams on the ice. It is going to be broadcasted on NBC Sports Network and will be done by an all-female crew. It will be the first time an NHL game in the United States will have such a broadcast. This special broadcast coincides with International Women’s Day. Kate Scott is going to be the play by play announcer while AJ Mleczko will be the color commentator. Kendall Coyne Schofield is going to be at ice level doing the “inside the glass” coverage.
