NEW YORK (Jan. 19, 2022) – The National Hockey League today announced a comprehensive update to the 2021-22 regular-season schedule, one that will enable all 32 teams to complete their respective 82-game slates by the regular season's original closing date of Friday, April 29.
The revised schedule includes:
* New dates for 98 games that had been postponed over the two-month period from Nov. 18, 2021 through Jan. 18, 2022.
