In November, the NHL announced the Blackhawks and Bruins will play in the 2019 Bridgestone NHL Winter Classic on Jan. 1, 2019, at Notre Dame Stadium. The game will be broadcast live on NBC, Sportsnet and TVA Sports at 1 p.m. The 2019 Bridgestone NHL Winter Classic continues the tradition the NHL established in 2008 of hosting a regular-season outdoor game at the onset of the new year.

The New Year’s Day matchup will be Chicago’s fourth NHL Winter Classic appearance and Boston’s third. The Chicago Blackhawks previous NHL Winter Classic games include hosting the Detroit Red Wings at Wrigley Field in 2009 (6-4 loss); a road trip to play the Washington Capitals in 2015 at Nationals Park (3-2 loss); and a matchup against the St. Louis Blues in 2017 at Busch Stadium (4-1 loss).

The 2019 Bridgestone NHL Winter Classic will showcase a host of the top talent in the NHL. The Blackhawks roster includes several NHL All-Stars, including captain Jonathan Toews, forward Patrick Kane and defenseman Duncan Keith, who have been a core of their three recent Stanley Cup championships (2009-10, 2012-13, 2014-15). In addition, Blackhawks Vice President/General Manager Stan Bowman graduated from the University of Notre Dame in 1995 and Bruins forward Anders Bjork was an All-American for the Fighting Irish in 2017.

The Original Six clubs have had 588 regular-season meetings, with Boston holding a 48-point edge over Chicago since the 1926-1927 season (Chicago 243-264-81—567, Boston 266-239-83—615). They have faced off in seven Stanley Cup Playoffs series, five of which the Bruins have won. Most recently, the two clubs met in the Stanley Cup Final in 2013, where Chicago defeated Boston in the series 4-2 when Dave Bolland tallied the game-winning goal at 19:01 in the third period of Game 6 – the latest Stanley Cup game-winner scored in regulation.
