Tonight’s game at Madison Square Garden begins one of the more intriguing three-game road trips for the Blackhawks in the last half decade. With all three teams in New York/New Jersey having high hopes this season — and two of the three teams off to great starts — the Blackhawks’ big veteran trade pieces will have additional eyeballs on them in the coming three starts.
It was almost exactly one year ago — Dec. 8, 2021 — when the Blackhawks hosted the New York Rangers at the United Center. Jacob Trouba put a huge hit on Jujhar Khaira in that game that led to an incredibly scary scene (I won’t post the video directly here for those who might not want to see it again) that required Khaira leaving the ice on a stretcher. We’ll see if there’s any repercussions for Trouba tonight; the Blackhawks don’t exactly have a heavyweight to dance with Trouba without Jarred Tinordi in the lineup.
