That's when the new Bruins blueliner will make his Garden debut as a Bruin when Boston hosts Tampa Bay.
"It's always exciting," Kaberle said after Thursday's morning skate. "It's the first game for me here. It's going to be exciting, a little different feeling. It's been two weeks and I've tried to settle in, so hopefully I'll have a good game."
It's been an adjustment for Kaberle, who has smoothly taken charge of the Bruins' power play but is still adapting to his new team and surroundings.
"Sometimes it takes a while to settle in," Kaberle said. "Obviously it's a little different than Toronto, but I'm trying to keep it simple and do the best I can with it."
The biggest difference is the expectations, as the Bruins are supposed to be Cup contenders now, especially with the addition of Kaberle to the defense.
"It's nice," Kaberle said. "My first six years I played in the playoffs every year and my last five I wasn't there. It's tough to always answer the questions to the media why not. So hopefully we'll have a good rest of the season and be prepared for the playoffs."
Kaberle believes the Bruins have the personnel to make some noise in the playoffs.
"Obviously it's a great team," Kaberle said. "Every line has got something on the ice and everybody can score. It's nice to see that. And with the two goalies behind us, we're very comfortable."
And the Bruins are quickly getting comfortable with Kaberle.
"I knew he was a great passer and he definitely is a great passer," defenseman Dennis Seidenberg said. "Every time you get a puck from him it's flat. And he's just a smart hockey player. He has good hockey sense and knows where to be.
"And another thing is on the power play," Seidenberg added. "He just seems to be so calm and cool distributing the puck to certain players and creating odd-man situations. That's what makes him so strong."
