Florida Panthers at Boston (Oct. 30)
The Bruins face the Panthers for the first time since Florida ousted the Black and Gold in a stunning Game 7 upset in the opening round of the playoffs. Boston will look to exact some revenge on the reigning Eastern Conference champions.
Boston at Montreal Canadiens (Nov. 11)
In one of the oldest rivalries in all of sports, it doesn't matter what the records are or how good the players are. The Original Six matchup is always must-see and this year they meet a lot earlier in the season than last year. The Bruins host Montreal the next weekend at TD Garden in the third of the six "Era Nights."
Boston at Las Vegas Golden Knights (Jan. 11)
The Bruins head out to the desert to face former coach Bruce Cassidy and the defending Stanley Cup champions. Last season, the Bruins split the season series with the Knights.
Boston at Edmonton Oilers (Feb. 21)
The Bruins will head north of the border to take on this year's Hart Trophy winner Connor McDavid and offensive marvel Leon Driasaitl. David Pastrnak finished second in goals scored and third in points to the Edmonton duo. The Bruins will look to shut down the Oilers' offense.
