ST. LOUIS — The St. Louis Blues officially hit the ice for training camp on Monday to prepare for their season opener against Colorado on Jan. 13.
We knew that game would be a late one, at 9:30 p.m. St. Louis time. We now know the rest of the start times for the Blues' 56-game season this year.
The NHL released the start times for all teams on Monday, and with the Blues out in the new "West" Division for this abbreviated season, there are going to be some late start times.
The Blues' new division consists of the Colorado Avalanche, Vegas Golden Knights, Los Angeles Kings, Anaheim Ducks, Arizona Coyotes, San Jose Sharks and Minnesota Wild. The Wild are the only other away games on the Blues' regular season schedule that take place in the Central Time Zone.
Although it's not all bad news for Blues fans hoping they won't have to stay up until the latest hours of the night to watch their team.
The Blues will have 10 games that will begin at 8:30 p.m. central time or later this season on the road against teams out on the West Coast.
