Do the Leafs not get a home opener this year?
In true Lamoriello fashion, they are the only team who have not announced it yet. They’ll probably be halfway through the second period by the time we find out.
There is a mistake with the Bruins on this list. It shows them and Nashville playing a home game on the same night, against each other.
Whoops. You’re right. The Preds also haven’t announced their home opener.
There we go. Nashville opens against the Flyers Oct. 10th.
Thanks.
The Islanders home opener is incorrect. They open on October 7th vs. Buffalo.
Yeah, there were a few wrong sent out by various beats. It should all be correct now.
