The Blackhawks will raise their latest Stanley Cup banner on Oct. 7 and will make an early visit to the New York Islanders’ new home as part of their regular-season schedule, which was announced on Thursday morning.
The New York Rangers will visit the United Center on Oct. 7, when the Blackhawks open their 2015-16 regular season. They'll face the Islanders, at Barclays Center in Brooklyn, on Oct. 9. The annual Circus Trip is still on the docket, too, with the Blackhawks leaving town from Nov. 18-28. On that trip they’ll see Edmonton, Calgary, Vancouver, San Jose, Anaheim and Los Angeles.

The Blackhawks’ longest home stand this season is four games, which they’ll have four times (Oct. 17-26, Dec. 11-17, Jan. 6-14 and Feb. 9-15). They’ll host their Stanley Cup Final foe, the Tampa Bay Lightning, on Oct. 24. They’ll wrap up their regular season on April 9 at the Columbus Blue Jackets.
As with last season, the NHL will take Dec. 24-26 off. Teams are prohibited from practicing, playing or traveling on those three days.
