Following the completion of the Seattle Expansion Draft, the NHL released its regular season schedule for the 2021-22 season the following day, with the return of its regular divisions and a full 82-game slate starting October 12 with the Penguins vs. Lightning and the Kraken's first regular season match-up in Vegas against the Golden Knights. Every team will go back to playing at least one home game and one road game against each other next season.
As for the Sharks, their 2021-22 season opener is on October 16 vs. the Jets at SAP Center. After their season opener, San Jose will embark on a five-game road trip before returning to the Tank on October 28 to host the Canadiens. Team Teal's longest homestand consists of seven games from December 7 through December 23 hosting the Flames, Wild, Stars, Kraken, Canucks (twice), and Oilers. The Sharks' longest roadies are five games each and take place within the first few months of the season.
The NHL All-Star festivities will take place February 4-5 in Vegas. The league will also have a scheduled break in February to accommodate for players participating in the Winter Olympics in Beijing.
Individual game start times and local TV/radio information will be unveiled later on.
I plan to write as many game recaps and news + notes posts as I possibly can this coming season, and I certainly believe that the Sharks are on the right track to performing better this coming season than they did last season. I also can't wait to see how the Seattle Kraken perform in their first season, especially so I can determine how I officially feel about them moving forward.
