On Thursday morning, the National Hockey League announced its 2012-13 national television schedules, and the Chicago Blackhawks are slated to appear in 14 of those games. The specter of a potential lockout casts doubt on the schedule holding up, but at least the NHL and NHLPA have continued to discuss the potential terms for a new collective bargaining agreement. Here are the showcase games the Blackhawks have been scheduled to appear in during the 2012-13 season (via Blackhawks.NHL.com):
