Hockey’s return to play has been ratified, so the schedule is set.
As released by the NHLPA and the league:
:format(webp):no_upscale()/cdn.vox-cdn.com/uploads/chorus_asset/file/20078001/Memes.png)
Your Bruins-centric dates are round robin games:
- vs. Philadelphia on August 2nd
- vs. Tampa Bay on August 5th
- vs. Washington on August 8th
Boston’s last game before the pandemic hit was against Philly, a 2-0 win way back in March.
As for times, it’s probably gonna be some wacky stuff, as they have plans for six games with (thankfully) staggered starts to keep up on, as Chris Johnston suggested:
Here's how a typical schedule of games will look in the NHL restart (all times ET): 12 p.m., 2 p.m., 4 p.m., 6:30 p.m., 8 p.m. and 10:30 p.m.
