After the NHL released each team's home opener Wednesday, full season schedules came Thursday.
The Bruins open their season in Washington Oct. 3, as the Capitals' 2017-18 Stanley Cup banner is unveiled. They return to Boston for their own home opener against the Senators Oct. 8 -- a Columbus Day matinee.
The Canadiens first come to town Saturday, Oct. 27 and again on Monday, Jan. 14. The Bruins' first crack at revenge against the Lightning since playoff elimination is Thursday, Dec. 6 in Tampa.
Other noteworthy dates include the previously announced Winter Classic against the Blackhawks at Notre Dame Jan. 1, the Bruins' bye week Jan. 20-24, and a five-game West Coast trip Feb.15-23.
The end-of-season stretch is almost as brutal as 2017-18, but at least they're used to it now.
