Probably similar to the one the Flames played in Regina, which was the last Saturday of October.

As the Stadium Series games played in California and such have shown, they can make ice that can hold up under those conditions, especially once the sun goes down and the temperature drops. It's better than trying to contend with -20 or worse, which is miserable for everyone and makes for awful hockey.
At that time of year, sunset in Edmonton is about 6:00pm, so by an 8:00pm start time, it will have cooled down even if it was a hot day.
