Toronto @ Philadelphia
5pm MT, TSN

The Flyers open their season on home ice, which means Philadelphia debuts for the likes of defenseman Mark Streit and center Vincent Lecavalier. Toronto, meanwhile, plays its second game in as many nights after a win in Montreal on Tuesday.

Buffalo @ Detroit
6pm MT, TSN2

The Red Wings begin play in the Eastern Conference with two additions -- Stephen Weiss and Daniel Alfredsson. The move to the East was music to the ears of players and coaches since the team will be playing the majority of its road games against teams in the same time zone. Detroit will play 14 games outside of the Eastern time zone this season, 15 fewer than in 2011-12, the lasy 82-game season.

Anaheim @ Colorado
7:30pm MT, RDS2

Colorado's Nathan MacKinnon, the first pick of the 2013 NHL Draft, will make his NHL debut against an Anaheim team that finished second in the Western Conference last season.
