The Blackhawks play the fourth game of their new calendar year starting seven-game homestand this evening with the Calgary Flames in town. The Flames are 6-2-1 in their last nine after losing five in a row, so they’re working their way back in the playoff picture in the Western Conference. The Blackhawks are working on cementing the best odds possible of landing the top pick in the 2023 NHL Draft because Connor Bedard might be an alien made in a lab to dominate hockey games. Anyways, let’s get to the details for tonight’s event.
