## Resource

The NHL’s 2026-27 season kicks off early on September 29th with a historic showdown: the Toronto Maple Leafs host the Montreal Canadiens in a seventh straight season-opening clash between Original Six rivals. It’s the first time the Leafs play on opening day since the pandemic, and they’ve won four of their last six such matchups. Auston Matthews and William Nylander lead the charge, with Matthews even scoring a hat trick in last year’s opener. The league also kicks off with the Panthers vs. Hurricanes, reviving the classic 84-game format fans missed since 1993. Mark your calendars — hockey’s back, and it’s starting sooner than ever.
