Bruins announce 2022-23 season schedule

The Boston Bruins have a full 82-game 2022-23 schedule to their name.

For the Bruins, it’s a return to ‘normalcy’ with a start closer to early October, as the Bruins will kick things off on Oct. 12 with a head-to-head with the Capitals down in DC.

The Bruins will then head to Boston for their home opener against the Arizona Coyotes on Oct. 15.

Among the other notable dates for the Bruins, Dec. 5 will mark Bruce Cassidy’s return to Boston, this time as the coach of the Vegas Golden Knights, while the Bruins will host the Penguins in the 2023 Winter Classic at Fenway Park on Monday, Jan. 2.

The Bruins will also have a season-long five-game homestand in mid-December, and go on a season-long five-game road swing at the end of January and into the first week of February.

The full schedule goes as follows (note: all times local to where the game is being played)…
