Chicago Blackhawks at Detroit Red Wings 8PM Eastern/7PM Central NBC Sports/TVA/SportsNet One
THE BUZZ
These are not your father’s Red Wings. Well, sort of anyway. The Hawks don’t see the Red Wings much anymore, and you will see tonight a beginning of a changing of the guard in the Winged Wheel—featuring All Everything rookie, Dylan Larkin.
The Hawks will feature three of the four big trade deadline acquisitions, with D Christian Ehrhoff making his Chicago debut tonight. Dale Weise is reportedly still dealing with immigration issues.
