The Blackhawks make their lone 2015-16 visit to Philadelphia on Wednesday night. We asked Adam Hess of Blackhawks blog Second City Hockey to help us get to know the defending champs.
BSH: The Blackhawks lost a lot this summer. Patrick Sharp, Brandon Saad, others. What kind of hit will the team take from these departures?
Adam Hess: The damage that those losses does to the team's success is really going to depend how well Artemi Panarin, Teuvo Teravainen, and (eventually) Marko Dano perform this season.
