The NHL and Gary Bettman have just made the announcement that four games will be rescheduled, including three Canadian teams, hours before Frozen Frenzy.

With just hours to go, the NHL is gearing up for one of the marquee events on this year's calendar: the 2024/25 Frozen Frenzy. Dates have been marked in the calendar as some of the best hockey action unfolds this season. However, the league announced a number of schedule changes that made headlines among teams, players, and fans alike.

In the news release, the NHL announced it is changing the start times of four games between November and January. The league didn't say why it made the above-noted changes but is doing so well in advance to ensure that all parties involved can make the proper adjustments. It has raised eyebrows among those in the hockey community, who are wondering what led to the time change.

The time changes affect games hosted in Canadian cities like Winnipeg, Vancouver, and Calgary. All of these cities are nothing new to high-profile games in the NHL, and fans are already chattering with excitement about matchups. The league has gone out of its way to make sure people have enough warning of the changes so as not to catch them off guard amidst all the plans made for attending or watching live games.

Game #230, Dallas Stars at Winnipeg Jets, scheduled for Nov. 9, will now begin at 2 p.m. CT.

Game #619, Nashville Predators at Vancouver Canucks, scheduled for Jan. 3, will now begin at 7 p.m. PT.

Game #621, Detroit Red Wings at Winnipeg Jets, scheduled for Jan. 4, will now begin at 6 p.m. CT.

Game #627, Nashville Predators at Calgary Flames, scheduled for Jan. 4, will now begin at 8 p.m. MT.


NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman and the league office certainly believe that this will be another season of success continuing to grow upon the good work of recent years. Coming off the Frozen Frenzy, this is going to be an action-filled season.

While the NHL did indeed make some raised-eyebrow adjustments to its scheduling, at the same time, they added an interesting layer to the hockey fans' calendar this upcoming season. These rescheduled games are something with which the fans truly need not be very concerned, as they may come with a lot of exciting action on the ice. With a lot of warning and some building anticipation, it's setting up to be quite an unforgettable 2024/25 NHL season.
