The St. Louis Blues will play preseason games on back-to-back nights against the Central Division rival Chicago Blackhawks on Friday and Saturday.
Friday’s game will be played at United Center in Chicago at 7:30 p.m. (101 ESPN), while Saturday’s matchup will take place at Cable Dahmer Arena in Independence, MO – the home of the ECHL’s Kansas City Mavericks – at 7 p.m.
Friday’s matchup will be the first meeting between the teams since July 29, 2020 when they met in an exhibition contest at Rogers Place in Edmonton prior to the start of the 2020 Stanley Cup Playoffs in the bubble.
The lineup expected to travel to United Center on Friday afternoon includes Brayden Schenn, Vladimir Tarasenko, Robert Thomas, Pavel Buchnevich and Jordan Binnington. In addition, the team will get its first look at 2021 first-round pick Zack Bolduc, who was injured and did not travel with the team’s prospects in Traverse City.
Chris Kerber and Joey Vitale will call Friday’s game live on 101 ESPN. Fans can also listen in the NHL App (when they select the St. Louis Blues as their favorite team) and at 101espn.com.
