The Chicago Blackhawks were beaten pretty handily by the Florida Panthers on Sunday. Florida is one of the best teams in the NHL so it was somewhat expected but the Blackhawks have now had since then to think about it.
After a long break of games, the New Jersey Devils are at the United Center to take on the Chicago Blackhawks. The two teams last met in Newark in the New Jersey Devils’ home opener. Jack Hughes scored in overtime to give the Devils their first win of the season.
