https://www.nhl.com/islanders/schedule/2023-10-01/ETIsles open at home Oct 14th vs the Sabres.
5 of first 6 are home games, so they'd better figure out winning at home early on and build up some points.
6 straight at home in early Dec, vs 3 western teams, 2 Atlantic teams and Clumbus.
No huge road trips, but they have four four-game road trips.
Bye week is Jan 28th to Feb 5th.
Seven home games are matinees. Maybe I'll make one this year. Haven't been to the new place yet.
Ten sets of back-to-backs. 3 - Road/Road, 2 - Road/Home, 4 - Home/Road, 1 - Home/Home.
