BLOG: Blackhawks Opening Night Roster Finalized

It's opening night and the Blackhawks' roster and taxi squad have officially been announced ahead of Game 1.
Eighteen skaters and two netminders are on the active roster to start the year, including six additions to the organization from a year ago. Six players make up the initial taxi squad -- a group that will travel and practice with the NHL roster as non-rostered reserves on-hand if needed.
Take a look at the full roster below and tune in at 7 p.m. CT as Chicago and Tampa Bay open their 2020-21 campaigns on NBCSN!
