Early season is when you want to get the good teams before they get in sync and rolling. Better chance of grabbing a win than in March.

I don't think the Oilers and Panthers had good records to start last season

The day after the MLB Allstar game. I think they have done a release around then in the past. A natural lull in the sports landscape.

I'd like to see a coach with some original ideas… like trying to win two games at a time! That would at least have…

Flames will not be starting on opening night, i guess that's not really a surprise lol but official now. Guessing a Wednesday or Thursday start:

The National Hockey League (NHL) announced today the 2025-26 regular season will open on Tuesday, Oct. 7 with a tripleheader broadcast exclusively on ESPN in the U.S., and on Sportsnet and TVA Sports in Canada.

At 5 p.m. ET, the Chicago Blackhawks will face off against the two-time defending Stanley Cup champion Florida Panthers. Prior to the game, Florida will raise its second championship banner at Amerant Bank Arena.

Action continues at 8 p.m. ET, when the Pittsburgh Penguins face off against the New York Rangers in a Metropolitan Division matchup at Madison Square Garden.

Then, at 10:30 p.m. ET, the Colorado Avalanche will visit the Los Angeles Kings in a Western Conference matchup at Crypto.com Arena.

This doesn’t mean that there will only be 3 games played on Oct. 7.
