For someone that hasn’t followed the NHL is about 15 years could you explain a little please?
I’m going to get right back into the NHL for the Seattle team.
Couple of rookie questions -
What months does the season run?
How many games are there in the regular season?
I don't really know the specifics but essentially Vegas got the best deal for any expansion team ever in terms of selections for players in the expansion draft. They lead the the Western Conference in the standings at the All-Star break. (60ish percent of the regular season) It's unprecedented for an expansion team, obviously.
Season begins in September with training camp and preseason games, with regular season beginning in October running through to April. Playoffs usually run from April to early June. 82 games in the regular season.
