Chicago Blackhawks at Anaheim Ducks 4PM Central/2 Pacific NBCSN/WGN
THE BUZZ
And you thought the Blackhawks were struggling out of the gate this year. Consider the case of the 8-11-4 Ducks. Anaheim has struggled at both ends of the ice, and the latest issue is an injury to starting netminder Fredrik Andersen. Look for John Gibson to start today.
Don't worry, the Ducks will be plenty up for this game—their chance for revenge over the Hawks winning a 2015 Western Conference Final the Ducks led 3-2 before dropping the last two games, and a Game 7 on home ice.
