They will not be home much after that to start the season. The Red Wings released their schedule for the 2018-19 season, and one oddity is they’ll play six of their next seven games on the road, spanning Oct. 7-20. But Little Caesars Arena comes back into play toward the end of October, as the Wings play seven of their next eight games in Detroit from Oct. 22-Nov. 9. The Wings will host a season-high nine games in November, while in December they’ll play seven of a huge 16-game set that month at Little Caesars Arena. The annual New Year’s Eve game will take place against the Florida Panthers and begins a season-high five-game homestand (Dec. 31-Jan. 8), which includes a game against the Stanley Cup champion Washington Capitals. The Wings also play five consecutive home games from Feb. 17-26. March is a road-heavy part of the schedule, with 10 games away from LCA, including a season-high five-game trip from March 19-28. The traditional night before Thanksgiving game is Nov. 21 against Boston, while Original Six rival Chicago visits LCA Feb. 20. Toronto visits Oct. 11 and Feb. 1. The Wings have two home-and-home series this season – Feb. 16 (in Philadelphia) and Feb. 17 (in Detroit) against the Flyers, and April 2 (at LCA) and April 4 (in Pittsburgh) against the Penguins.

Today's release of the 2018-19 regular season schedule officially lays out the road map for the Blue Jackets, who seek a third straight playoff berth for the first time ever. We know they open Thursday, Oct. 4 at Little Caesars Arena in Detroit before returning to Columbus the following night for the home opener against Carolina at Nationwide Arena. After that, the Blue Jackets play nine more games in October before heading to California to kick off the month of November. Here are some highlights and notable items: The Blue Jackets had 17 back-to-backs a year ago, and this time around, will have 16. The schedule does look a bit more balanced than it did last year but it's back-loaded with road games in February, March and April. Want some time off from the Jackets? You'll get it, in-season. Columbus takes a 10-day break from Jan. 19-29, the combination of their mandated bye week and the NHL's All-Star break. They'll play Jan. 19 in Minnesota and resume Jan. 29 at home against Buffalo. California trip: Nov. 1-4. Western Canada trip: Mar. 19-24. The Blue Jackets play a season-high six-game home stand from Dec. 8-20 at Nationwide Arena, and only two of those games (New Jersey, Washington) are against Metropolitan Division opponents. The Blue Jackets' lone trip to Vegas is Saturday (! ), Feb. 9. Yes, that's Saturday.

Mandatory Credit: Gary A. Vasquez-USA TODAY Sports The Capitals will raise a Cup banner for the first time in franchise history before they host the Boston Bruins in one of four games to launch the NHL season. Washington currently holds a 12-game regular-season winning streak against Boston. The other three games on the NHL’s opening night tab the Montreal Canadiens traveling to face the Toronto Maple Leafs in an Original Six matchup, the Calgary Flames visiting the Vancouver Canucks and the San Jose Sharks hosting the Anaheim Ducks. The following day, the Stanley Cup runner-up Vegas Golden Knights will begin their second season at home against the Philadelphia Flyers. The first rematch of this year’s Stanley Cup Final will happen on Oct. 10 when the Capitals host the Golden Knights at Capital One Arena. The regular-season schedule also includes three games in Europe as part of the league’s Global Series. The Edmonton Oilers play the New Jersey Devils for their season opener in Gothenburg, Sweden, on Oct. 6. The Florida Panthers and Winnipeg Jets will match up in back-to-back games in Helsinki, Finland, on Nov. 1-2. The NHL also will play hold Winter Classic games next season. On Jan. 1, the Chicago Blackhawks and the Bruins will play outdoors at Notre Dame Stadium in South Bend, Ind., maintaining the tradition started in 2008 of the league scheduling a regular-season outdoor game the first day of the new year. The Flyers will host the Pittsburgh Penguins on Feb. 23 at Lincoln Financial Field in an outdoor rematch of the teams’ meeting at Heinz Field last season. The NHL on Wednesday announced the home-opening date and opponent for all 31 teams. Edmonton has the latest home opener, dropping the puck for the first time at Rogers Place on Oct. 18, against Boston. Much of that has to do with the Oilers opening their season in Sweden. The league’s regular-season will end on April 6 with 30 of the 31 teams in action. --Field Level Media<doc-sep>
