NHL hockey is ready to start and it will be a 48 game season. What type of schedule will it be?

Would team play divisional teams 4 times? Then teams outside of their division 4 times? And play almost every western team except for a couple? If you do the math 16 games in the division, 20 outside of the division and 12 in the west equals 48 games.

Why don't you go to your favorite Teams Web Site and find out?

It will be a schedule that includes only Conference games, no inter-conference. Each team will play teams in their division 7 times and 2 against the other 10 teams in the Conference

[Expat Mike]

It seems to change by the day, but the latest word I've heard is from Bob McKenzie's twitter feed about an hour ago. It's as follows:

Each team plays: 4 games vs. two Divisional opponents (8); 5 games vs. two divisional opponents (10); 3 games vs 10 Conference rivals (30).

Who knows if that's how it will look tomorrow.

The best thing is to wait and check your teams' website, right now there is too much unconfirmed information floating around.
