The Blackhawks are back in action with a late puck drop — by local standards — against the Los Angeles Kings at the United Center. There will be pregame festivities for those attending in the atrium as part of the Blackhawks ‘Hockey Fights Cancer’ event including a purple carpet event and a purple scarf giveaway for the first 10,000 fans.
Blackhawks television and radio analyst Troy Murray — who is fighting his own battle with cancer — dons the purple scarf that the early arrivers will go home with tonight.
