Friday, October 10: Abbotsford Canucks vs Henderson Silver Knights, 10:00 p.m. ET
The 2025 Calder Cup Champion Abbotsford Canucks fly to Vegas to retake the ice for their first game of the season against the Henderson Silver Knights.
Their banner raising will have to wait until October 24, as they begin their season with four games on the road: two against the Silver Knights and two against Laval. The team on the ice will look quite a bit different with a few players making the move up to Vancouver, but coach Manny Malhotra remains at the helm.
Saturday, October 11: Syracuse Crunch vs Hershey Bears, 7:00 p.m. ET
The Hershey Bears kick off the season with a home game, facing the Syracuse Crunch on Saturday night at Giant Center.

Saturday, October 11: Grand Rapids Griffins vs Texas Stars, 8:00 p.m. ET
In a rematch of the 2025 Calder Cup Playoffs, the Grand Rapids Griffins hit the road to H-E-B Center at Cedar Park to take on the Texas Stars in the Lone Star State.
In their previous meeting, the Stars came away with the victory, sweeping the series 3-0. After the promotion of Neil Graham to the Dallas Stars, Toby Petersen now steers the ship. Petersen was most recently a skills coach for the Colorado Avalanche.
