Christmas Eve Flurries: Scheduling Szn

With just weeks to go until the current start date for the 2020*-21 NHL season, the league has started to get fans ramped up with more and more news about what’s to come.

The league confirmed that the entirety of the regular season will consist of intra-divisional play, meaning that Colorado will only face seven opponents — the Anaheim Ducks, the Arizona Coyotes, the Los Angeles Kings, the Minnesota Wild, the San Jose Sharks, the St. Louis Blues and the Vegas Golden Knights — until the playoffs roll around.

They also confirmed that teams will play in series, like baseball, to cut down on travel and minimize covid spread.
