With the 2024 draft and the first wave of free agency in the books, the NHL released its 2024-25 regular-season schedule.
The defending champion Florida Panthers will raise their first Stanley Cup banner in the rafters in a segue to their season debut against the Boston Bruins on Oct. 8. That same night, the league will witness the start of the NHL in Salt Lake City, as the Utah Hockey Club take on the Chicago Blackhawks.
Teams had fun in how they let fans know who they'd be facing in 2024. Here is how each team revealed their schedule and their opponents for the upcoming season.
