NHL TRAINING CAMPS EXPECTED TO OPEN SUNDAY
The league is targeting a 48-game season beginning Jan. 19, leaving very little time for everyone involved with the sport to get organized. The schedule isn't expected to be released until after the Board of Governors ratifies the agreement.
With a 48-game schedule, each team will play four games each against two divisional opponents, five games each against two divisional opponents and three games each against 10 conference rivals.
