Our schedule so far has been hilarious.

In 29 games, we've played:

Central: 10 games
Metro: 9
Pacific: 7
Atlantic (our division): 3

There are five Western teams - Colorado, Winnipeg, Nashville, Minnesota, Vancouver - who we've already finished our home-and-home set with, while there's still five Atlantic teams we haven't even faced yet. And we'll still be waiting a while before we face Boston (1/9), Detroit (1/18), and most of all Buffalo, who we don't face for the first time this season until 3/6.
I’m seeing that we’ve played 4 in our division and we’ve LOST all of them. I’m not nitpicking but I was checking our record in the division and came up with the four games. A wacky schedule for sure.

We've played Toronto twice and Ottawa once. When have we faced any of the others?

Toronto has kinda become early 2000s Ottawa for us. Not sure who the better overall team might be but the matchup itself - at least for Vasi - is just a nightmare. Matt Knies has more goals against the Lightning than any other team in his career.

My mistake. The schedule I was looking at didn’t differentiate between preseason and regular season. I was counting the Panthers game in early October.
