NHL release schedule

The NHL have released the schedule for the 100th NHL season of operation and 99th of play. The season will start later than usual due to the World Cup of Hockey taking place in late September. This means it will start on October 13th and finish on April 15th 2017.

It was already announced yesterday that the Penguins would start their season and raise the new Stanley Cup banner against the Washington Capitals on October 13th. They will play the Rangers first in a home and home series between November 21st and November 23rd. The Tampa Bay Lightning will return to the scene of their Game 7 defeat on 8th January after the Penguins week long break. Every team has one this season.

Lastly, the San Jose Sharks will entertain the Penguins in SAP Center early in the season on November the 5th with the return trip being penned in for October 20th, even earlier. There are only 114 days until the new season, looking forward to it. Especially with it being the 50th year of the Penguins existence.
