Blackhawks vs. Predators Game 1 start time, lineups, and how to watch

The Chicago Blackhawks host the Nashville Predators for Game 1 of their first-round series Thursday night at the United Center. The game starts at 7 p.m. CT and will be broadcast nationally in the United States on NBCSN.

The Blackhawks enter the playoffs as the No. 1 seed in the Western Conference after their second 50-win season in franchise history. The team has Artem Anisimov coming back into the fold after missing some time due to injury, and that solidifies a strong top nine that should give the Predators trouble from the first minute.

For those looking to stream the game, you’ll actually have two options provided you have the proper login credentials. NBC Sports will be providing its national coverage here, and CSN Chicago will be providing local coverage here if you’d prefer the dulcet tones of Pat Foley and Eddie Olczyk.

Here’s the complete info to catch the game.
