* On April 6, 1975 - The Minnesota North Stars played Chicago Blackhawks on national television on road at old Chicago Stadium in 3-0 defeat over Minnesota. For first time in franchise history, players donned sewn on names on jersey backs. In 1973-1974, NBC persuaded NHL Commissioner Clarence Campbell to make teams put players names on uniforms for NBC telecasts to help viewers identify players. The North Stars never played on NBC in 73-74, and only appeared on NBC once in 74-75 for this game. The victory marked Blackhawks 1,200th franchise win as Tony Esposito shut out the North Stars 3-0. It was also the 500th career victory for Head Coach Billy Reay, who became just the third NHL coach to reach the 500-win milestone.
