The Boston Bruins came within one win of hoisting the Stanley Cup in 2019, and they'll get back to work defending their Eastern Conference crown on Oct. 3 in Dallas.
The full schedule for the 2019-20 NHL season was revealed Thursday at noon ET. According to one hockey mathematician, the Bruins have one of the most grueling schedules in the league.
Here are most notable matchups on the Bruins' schedule:
Home opener: Oct. 12 vs. New Jersey Devils
2019 Stanley Cup Final rematch: Oct. 26 in Boston and April 2 in St. Louis
Matchups with the rival Montreal Canadiens: Nov. 5 in MTL, Nov. 26 in MTL, Dec. 1 in BOS, Feb. 12 in BOS
Chicago Blackhawks' only game in Boston: Thursday, Dec. 5
Connor McDavid's only game in Boston: Saturday, Jan. 4
And without further ado, here's the full Bruins schedule for next season (all times local):
