Blackhawks vs. Golden Knights – Home Opener Info, Lineups, Broadcast Info, Game Thread

Oct 21, 2023

The Blackhawks finally play a game at the United Center. This will be their fifth and final home opener after playing the visiting role in four on their five-game trip to open the season. This will be the first time Blackhawks fans get to see Connor Bedard and Kevin Korchinski in a game that actually matters/means something, so I expect a loud, packed house.

Home Opener Events Info

The Blackhawks will — weather permitting — host their red carpet celebration before the home opener. Some details:

Parking in Lots A, D, F and K will open at 2:30 PM.

Outdoor bars and viewing areas will be open beginning at 3 PM.

Blackhawks celebrity arrivals on the red carpet are expected at approximately 4:30 PM.

Doors open for ticketed fans around 5 PM following red carpet events.

A special Q&A with Blackhawks Alumni Chris Chelios will take place in the Atrium at approximately 5:15 p.m.

Fans are encouraged to be in their seats by 6:45 p.m. for this season’s opening show inside the arena, full roster introductions and a tribute to late Blackhawks Chairman Rocky Wirtz.

Injury Report

Chicago Blackhawks

The Blackhawks are still without forwards Philipp Kurashev (wrist), Colin Blackwell (lower body) and Colton Dach (right ankle).

Vegas Golden Knights

Alex Pietrangelo is banged up but not on IR. Zach Whitecloud, Daniil Miromanov, and Robin Lehner are on IR.

What to Watch For

Bedard gets another game against some really good centers, this time facing Eichel, Stephenson and Karlsson.

Raddysh moves up to the top line and Donato moves down to center the fourth line.

Korchinski’s getting moved up to skate with Jones on the top pair. Vlasic was really good there, but their ice time was nearly equal on the trip. How does the Korchinski-Jones pair work defensively?
