The Blackhawks are trying to defend their turf as the Stanley Cup Champions from a year ago.

And, of course, there are surprises and disappointments already this season.

NBC Sports NHL Analyst Brian Engblom joined Jeff Thurn on Overtime to get us a preview of the overall season and to discuss some of those topics.

Take a listen and enjoy.
