ST. LOUIS -- The St. Louis Blues will open the 2025-26 regular season at Enterprise Center against the Minnesota Wild.

The NHL released the season schedule on Wednesday afternoon.

It will be the first meaningful game for the Blues since that agonizing, excruciating Game 7 loss against the Winnipeg Jets in the Western Conference First Round.

The Blues will debut some new faces in the lineup for the upcoming season, including free agent signings Pius Suter, who left the Vancouver Canucks to sign a two-year contract; Nick Bjugstad also signed a two-year deal, leaving the Utah Mammoth; and it is likely that defenseman Logan Mailloux will also debut with the Blues after being acquired from the Montreal Canadiens for Zack Bolduc.

Speaking of Bolduc, he and Mailloux will each face his former club on Dec. 7 in Montreal.

Gone from last year's club are Nick Leddy, who was claimed off waivers by the San Jose Sharks, and Radek Faksa, who returned to the Dallas Stars after signing a three-year contract. Veteran defenseman Ryan Suter remains an unrestricted free agent and it's unknown if the 40-year-old played his final game in Game 7 against the Jets.

Some other notable highlights in the Blues schedule:

* 2026 Winter Olympics break from Feb. 5-25

* All 32 teams will be in action on Saturday, Oct. 11 and Tuesday, Oct. 28

* 16 total home games on Friday and Saturday nights (six on Friday, 10 on Saturday)

*  Season starts with seven of 11 October games at Enterprise Center

* Five Saturday home games feature popular 6 p.m. puck drops

* First rematch of 2025 playoff series against Winnipeg is on Dec. 17

* Rival Chicago Blackhawks visit St. Louis on Oct. 15 and Dec. 12

* Four different four-game homestands, which will be the longest homestands of the season

* Two-time defending Stanley Cup champion Florida Panthers visit St. Louis on Jan. 29

* Final regular-season home game: April 14 vs. Pittsburgh Penguins; season finale: April 16 at Utah.
