March 2nd and 6th against Chicago
The Red Wings – Blackhawks rivalry goes back longer than most teams in the NHL have existed, and since the divisional realignment, the two teams only meet twice a season now. Which is a shame, cos Wings Vs ‘Hawks games are normally awesome.
The current Stanley Cup holders are playing at the top of their game, although it will be interesting to see if their superstar right-wing Patrick Kane will be on the roster, given what’s currently going on.
Regardless of Kane, the Blackhawks are still a strong team, and the two consecutive games in March will be eagerly awaited by fans in Michigan and Illinois.
