Following the home opener, Utah will hit the road for a four-game trip. On that trip, the Anaheim Ducks, New York Islanders, and New York Rangers will host the league’s newest franchise for their home openers.
Utah HC will close out a busy 11-game month of October with five home matches in six games.
Notable matchups during that stretch include Boston on Saturday, Oct. 19, and Colorado on Thursday, Oct. 24.
Utah HC’s first game in November will be on the road against the Las Vegas Golden Knights on Saturday, November 2. After three more away games, Utah will return home to face Carolina, Vegas, and Washington.
The three-game home stand will lead into a stretch where Utah will play seven of nine games away from home.
In the week before Christmas, Utah HC will play three home games. After hosting the Avalanche on Friday, Dec. 27, they will play four-straight road games before returning home to host the reigning Stanley Cup champion Florida Panthers on Wednesday, Jan. 8.
The game against Florida will be the first of seven straight at home.
