The full 2025-26 NHL schedule has been released.
Fans can now start marking their calendars for those key games they want to attend and possible road trips to embark on.
As we learned earlier this week, the Florida Panthers will play the first game of the NHL season on Tuesday, October 7 when they host the Chicago Blackhawks at 5 p.m.
Florida will also face the Philadelphia Flyers and Ottawa Senators on a season-opening three-game homestand before playing their next five on the road.
Between mid-November and early December, Florida will play 11 out of 12 games on home ice.
In terms of road trips, the Panthers’ longest will be two five-gamers, one in October and one in April, and a six-game road trip in January.
Florida’s first rematch with the Edmonton Oilers will come on Saturday, November 22 in Sunrise.
The Cats will end the season with five of seven on the road, but the final two regular season games will be on home ice against the New York Rangers and Detroit Red Wings.
