Some notable games include December 13 and January 19, when Patrick Kane and, for the first time in a different sweater, Jonathan Toews return to the United Center. The love for those two all-time greats is not lost, so expect those crowds to be loud and excited to see two of their favorite all-time Blackhawks. 

In addition, the amount of daytime Sunday games has been reduced, with many of "those great 6:00 starts" restored on the calendar. In addition, the Blackhawks are home the day before and after American Thanksgiving, two games that have historically been great crowds no matter the team's record is.

Broadcast information has not been released, except for the season opener on ESPN. However, expect to see the Blackhawks on national television quite a bit despite having a roster not ready for playoff contention just yet.
