Canucks release 2014-2015 schedule – open season Oct. 8th in Calgary

After a season to forget, the Vancouver Canucks are ready to hit the reset button for 2014-2015. The team has a new look in its front office and behind the bench, with Trevor Linden and Jim Benning taking over as President of Hockey Operations and General Manager, respectively. Gone are head coach John Tortorella and assistant Mike Sullivan, as Willie Desjardins was formally introduced as the Canucks’ new bench boss earlier this week.

The National Hockey League released its 2014-2015 schedule on Sunday. The regular season begins on October 8th, featuring the Los Angeles Kings unfurling their 2014 championship banner in their home opener versus their California rivals the San Jose Sharks (who incidentally nearly ended the Kings’ 2014 playoff run in their 1st round series). The Vancouver Canucks will also open their season that day with a road date against the Calgary Flames.

The Canucks home opener will feature the Edmonton Oilers in town on Saturday, October 11th. Some notable Rogers Arena dates include:

  • Saturday, October 18 vs Tampa Bay
  • Thursday, October 26 vs Montreal
  • Sunday, November 23 vs Chicago
  • Tuesday, November 25 vs New Jersey
  • Tuesday, January 8 vs Florida *Roberto Luongo’s 1st game in Vancouver since being traded last season
  • Friday, February 13 vs Boston
  • See the full 2014-2015 Canucks schedule now available on the National Hockey League’s website.

    There are a couple of things to be remember in the weeks leading up to the first regular season game on October 7th.
    The first is that preseason games do not influence who makes the playoff or directly affect a team’s Stanley Cup run.

    A perfect example of the experiments that come in preseason games was seen by the split team strategy in the Vancouver Canucks vs. Calgary Flames on September 21st.
    Most teams have only played one or two games, but already the predictions are starting to fly. Read More
