The NHL’s 2026-27 preseason is getting a major overhaul—with the Canadiens slashing exhibition games to just five, spread across three dates, including split-squad matchups against rivals Maple Leafs and Senators, plus a special Kraft Hockeyville game in Trois-Rivières. This condensed, high-intensity warm-up sets the stage for an expanded 84-game regular season, demanding peak readiness from day one.
