With the Colorado Avalanche fresh off celebrating their Stanley Cup victory, the NHL is already looking forward to the 2022-23 season, releasing its full schedule last week. The season will kick off with back-to-back doubleheaders in October, launching a campaign that will see a total of 1,312 games played – 82 per team.

New York will host the season opening tilt on October 11, with Madison Square Garden the site of an Eastern Conference Finals rematch between the Rangers and the Tampa Bay Lightning followed by the Vegas Golden Knights visiting the Los Angeles Kings in the back half of the twin bill. The next night will see the Avalanche hoist their franchise’s second Stanley Cup banner, taking on the Chicago Blackhawks with the Boston Bruins visiting the Washington Capitals for the other contest. That same night will also feature an all-Canada doubleheader, with the Toronto Maple Leafs visiting the Montreal Canadiens followed by the Vancouver Canucks heading east to play the Edmonton Oilers.

The league had previously announced several of its special edition games, including the 2023 All-Star Weekend and outdoor games, but the full slate of the regular season is now available for fans, and tickets are on sale. (Links to ticket purchase marketplaces are available below)
