New York Rangers at Chicago Blackhawks
The New York Rangers visit the Chicago Blackhawks at the United Center on Friday, November 27, 2026, the day after Thanksgiving. Puck drop is set for 4:30 PM Central: a Black Friday afternoon game that gives the whole holiday weekend crowd a reason to head to the West Side.
This is an Original Six matchup. The Rangers and the Blackhawks both joined the NHL in 1926 and have been meeting for a century; the Blackhawks play in the Central Division, the Rangers in the Metropolitan, so the two teams cross paths only a couple of times a season, which makes the Chicago date one of the more sought-after non-division games on the home schedule.
The United Center, on West Madison Street, opened in 1994 and seats roughly 19,700 for hockey. Its reputation as the Madhouse on Madison comes from the anthem, sung over a standing, roaring crowd, and from the noise of a full lower bowl. Holiday games sell out at the box office; Seatoria's accredited resale lists verified tickets in the 100, 200 and 300 levels, with seats together, delivered as e-tickets.
