Hockey's back for the official 2015-2016 NHL season, so get ready, MstarsNews readers!

The Chicago Blackhawks battle it out on the ice against the Minnesota Wild in Week 19 of the regular season on Sunday, February 21 at 3:30 p.m. EST from the TCF Bank Stadium in Minneapolis. Read on to see where fans can watch and listen to a live stream of the Sunday afternoon hockey game online and catch up-to-date feeds and coverage on highlight plays and scores.

Now in mid-season, Chicago maintains a rather impressive top spot in Pierre LeBrun's official NHL power rankings for ESPN.com , while Minnesota falls way behind (out of a total 30 teams):

Wild (23): "It's fairly clear just how much it ate at GM Chuck Fletcher to fire Mike Yeo as head coach. It's the last thing he wanted to do, but the season was slipping away beyond saving."

Record: 26-22-10 (6th in Central Division).

Blackhawks (2): "The Blackhawks went down in OT to the Ducks at home on Saturday night in a potential preview of a Western Conference finals rematch in the spring."

Record: 38-18-5 (1st in Central Division).

Today's game will be broadcasted live on local sports channels NBC, RSN, and TVA.
