Are some of these milestones significant? 

Beginning the 2016-17 season:

• only six players have played 900 games in the Indian Head (Stan Mikita, Bobby and Dennis Hull, Eric Nesterenko, Bob Murray and Doug Wilson). Seabrook and Keith would become the seventh and eighth in franchise history.
• only five players have reached 700 points as a member of the Blackhawks (Mikita, B. Hull, Denis Savard, Steve Larmer and Wilson). Kane would become the sixth.
• Crawford would become the fourth goaltender to win 200 games with the Blackhawks. The other three – Tony Esposito, Glenn Hall and Ed Belfour – are all in the Hall of Fame. His 20th win of the season will push Crawford past Belfour into third all-time among Hawks’ netminders.

Other statistics of note beginning the new season:

• Keith (458) needs 30 points to pass Chris Chelios (487) for third all-time among Blackhawks defensemen.
• Seabrook (85) and Keith (84) could pass Chelios (92) into third all-time in goal scoring among Blackhawks defensemen.
• Crawford’s sixth appearance of the year will be the 332nd of his career, passing Mike Karakas for fourth all-time among Hawks’ goaltenders.
