With the NHL lockout over, business quickly turned to completing the abbreviated 48-game schedule.
The Blackhawks' season slate was announced last weekend and now the TV schedule has emerged from the dust.
Comcast SportsNet will air 39 Blackhawks games, with three appearing on CSN.
Highlights include:
--The home opener on Tues, Jan. 22 vs. St. Louis
--Two home matchups with division rival Detroit (Jan. 27 and April 12)
--Three matchups with the Vancouver Canucks (Feb. 1, Feb. 19, April 22)
--Home matchup with the defending champion Kings on March 25
Before each of the 39 games, CSN will air Pregame Live and every game but one (Feb. 5 late start) will be followed by Blackhawks Postgame Live.
