NHL releases 2022-23 regular season schedule: Key dates

If hockey fans want some variety while awaiting what could be an intriguing 2022 NHL Draft, they can now pour through schedules for the 2022-23 regular season. The NHL released schedules for all 32 teams (1,312 games) on Wednesday, including sharing them all in PDF form.

That PDF even separates things in both list and calendar formats. Handy.

From games outdoor, overseas, and featuring All-Stars, fans can make some plans around the 2022-23 NHL regular season schedule. Naturally, there are also already dates to circle involving players and coaches facing former teams, often in former cities.

Of course, we haven’t waded through 2022 NHL Free Agency yet, so that list will only grow.

Consider a few key dates in the 2022-23 NHL regular season.

Feel free to make up a date and say “(Team you dislike) gets eliminated from playoff contention” if you’d like.
