After Chicago's preseason blunder on Sept 23 that we broke down, Connor Bedard and his grouo of Blackhawks teammates seek revenge against a Red Wings team who's coming off of a 2-1 loss against the Pittsburgh Penguins on Monday.

The Blackhawks are debuting what looks to be like their full NHL lineup, aside from two players inserted.

Alex Vlasic is missing from the lineup and Artyom Levshunov is his placeholder.

Landon Slaggert is also absent due to an injury, forward Oliver Moore is in as his placeholder.

This also means that Lukas Reichel, who's been reportedly involved in a trade underway, will not make the NHL roster is he's not moved by opening night.
