A few of the highlights are as follows:
- Jordin Tootoo comes to town wearing the red & white of Detroit on Tuesday, February 19
- Ryan Suter visits with the Minnesota Wild on Saturday, March 9
- Phoenix returns to Nashville on February 14, will last summer’s playoff series add some juice to that matchup?
- The Preds catch a bit of a break, as they get 5 games against Columbus (yay!) & Chicago, and 4 games against St. Louis & Detroit. Thanks to the 48-game schedule, teams won’t play their division rivals an equal number of game.
I count 9 sets of games on back-to-back nights, slightly down from the 11 that were originally planned for the 82-game schedule, but of course cramming 48 games into a condensed schedule leads to a rise in games on back-to-back nights. I’ll have a complete Super Schedule (detailing team-by-team travel miles and # of games on back-to-back nights) within a few hours…
