Due to the recent collective bargaining agreement extension, the last time that NHL teams will play 6 (or more) exhibition games. Instead, starting in 2026-27, they will play fewer preseason games and have an 84-game regular season. 

Although preseason games don’t impact the standings, the Blackhawks will present plenty of reasons to watch. In addition to the NHL regulars playing, plenty of young prospects will be battling to make the team.

Hype will surround players like Anton Frondell, Nick Lardis, and Ryan Greene, among others, who are looking to make their NHL debuts. With good camps and performances in these exhibition games, they make the team and play on opening night. 

On Wednesday, the Rockford IceHogs also announced their home opener for the 2025-26 season. This will take place on Saturday, October 11th against the Milwaukee Admirals, who eliminated the IceHogs in a winner-takes-all game five of the second round last year.
