Jeesh, the final run of games is horrible. Sharks x2, Kings x2, Ducks x2. In fact, final 14 look nasty when you include the Blues, Preds, Caps, Kings again, Stars, Bruins and Pens.
IDK lots of those teams will be firmly in playoff spots at that time...might be easier
Only 3 road trips longer than 3 games. That's actually a pretty decent schedule. As others have mentioned, there is a tough 6 game trip through the northeast, but the travel isn't as bad as people think.
Nov. 20 Detroit to Nov. 21 Buffalo. Overnight, but it's only an hour flight.
Buffalo to Nov. 23 Columbus. Day off in between with a 1:30 flight time. Columbus to Nov. 25 Boston. Day off in between with a 2 hour flight time.
Boston to Nov. 27 Philadelphia. Day off in between with a 1:20 flight time
Philadelphia to Nov. 28 NYI. Overnight, but the flight isn't even an hour long.
...
Looks like the team will be spending American Thanksgiving in Boston...
Potential road trips for fans with minimal travel between games...
November 5 (LA) & 6 (Anaheim) -- Weekend road trip (could also start with San Jose on the 3rd).
January 23 (Toronto), 24 (Montreal), & 26 (Ottawa) -- It's too bad the Toronto and Montreal games are the back-to-back games and not Montreal and Ottawa. Toronto-Montreal is a longer drive and January weather is unpredictable, but a flight would be quick.
February 3 (New Jersey) & 5 (Rangers) -- Friday night and Sunday afternoon in the NYC area.
February 23 (Tampa) & 24 (Florida) -- A slightly shorter drive with more predictable weather than trying to do back-to-back games in Toronto and Montreal in January. It would also be a quick flight if you can find a cheap one.
April 4 (Anaheim), 6 (LA), & 8 (San Jose) -- Spring time is SoCal.

So does anyone know the Tier pricing and where to find out how much each tier costs for each colour section?
Here is the ticket face values for some sections for the start of the 2015-2016 season. The ticket face values for some games in tier 1 increased later in the season. Add 2% for an estimate of 2016-2017 ticket face values.
I have not decided which one of those homestands I will choose yet but I am going to choose one of them and take my holidays and take in a bunch of games, maybe meet some of the people on here.
