23 days.
That’s all that stands between us and the start of the NHL regular season.
On January 15th, 2021, the Ottawa Senators will open their season on home ice against the Toronto Maple Leafs. They’ll do it again the next night. Friday and Saturday night games against the Toronto Maple Leafs after more than 10 months without Sens hockey.
Prepare yourselves.
This afternoon, teams have gradually started to release their schedules for the 2021 regular season. Interesting to note while dates and match-ups are included, there are no start times.
That part will be a bit of a moving target apparently. And as of this afternoon, locations are still a bit of an unknown for the seven Canadian teams.
Anyway, 23 days!
Here’s a look at Ottawa’s 56-game regular season schedule, which includes ten games against Winnipeg and Montreal and nine games against the remaining Canadian teams. It includes many back to backs, eight head-to-head games between the Tkachuk brothers and multiple instances where the Senators play the same team four times in a row.
This season is going to be insane.
