Chicago Blackhawks at Los Angeles Kings

The NHL Season is finally starting and NBC will be showing one of two games today. You will get to see either the Penguins take on the Flyers, or Blackhawks battling the Kings.

The Kings had a surge late last season and carried that into the playoffs, and made winning the Stanley Cup look easy. They hope to keep up that stellar play this season, but it won't be easy, as every team in the league is now gunning for them. The Blackhawks are looking to improve on last season, where they made the playoffs, but were eliminated in the second round. With all of their core players back, and another season of playing together under their belt, it should just be a matter of staying healthy.
