Bust out those calendars, people.
The NHL’s released the schedules for all 32 teams today. The Blues’ schedule starts with CBJ on October 15th and ends with the Dallas Stars – twice.
The Blues only play the Stars next season three times, so finishing with back to back games against Dallas on April 12th and 13th is certainly a scheduling choice. They’ll only be playing the Arizona Coyotes three times next season as well, but those games are a bit more spread out coming one each in January, February, and March. The rest of the Blues’ Central Division foes – the Blackhawks, Jets, Predators, Wild, and Avalanche – will be faced four times each. The first foray against the Blackhawks won’t come until November 16th.
The Blues don’t see the Avalanche until November 14th in Colorado, and December 11th is the first home game, so if the Blues want to start banking points in the division to compete with the Avs, they have a little time to do it.
The team has a seven game home stretch from January 10th-24th, seven of nine home games in February, and nine home Saturday games, so if you’re a season ticket holder, be sure to mark those dates.
The Blues have 14 back to backs this season, the first of which comes on October 26th against the Oilers and at Nashville on the 27th.
