The Wild released next season’s schedule yesterday (PDF). Some thoughts:
- Sixteen back-to-backs (can’t remember how many there were last year)
- Longest road series: six games, 2/27 – 3/8, CGY/EDM/VAN/SJ/LA/ANA
- Longest home series: five games, 11/20 – 11/28, VAN/STL/WSH/DAL/TB
- Both Wings home games are on Saturday nights (1/3 & 2/21)
- Crosby @ PIT on 11/18 and Ovechkin here on 11/24
- Hopefully a healthy Manny in nets for the home opener vs. BOS (10/11)
Can’t wait!
