ALUMNI SPOTLIGHT

On April 6, 1975, Tony Esposito played his 71st game of the season, a 3-0 win over the Minnesota North Stars at Chicago Stadium. The mark set a franchise record of most games played by a goalie in a season. Ed Belfour broke it during the 1990–91 campaign.

On April 6, 1995, The Blackhawks traded for Denis Savard from the Tampa Bay Lightning in exchange for a sixth-round pick in the 1996 NHL Draft. It would be Savard’s second stint in Chicago.
