If things look odd/weird/underwhelming on the ice tonight in Boston, it’s because the Blackhawks will be wearing their dark reverse retro jerseys on the road and Boston will be wearing their predominantly white reverse retros at home. One thing that should help the Blackhawks look better on the ice (hopefully, especially on the power play) will be Ian Mitchell making his NHL debut for the season tonight. It’s a good bet for Patrick Kane to pick up a point on his birthday, too.
