As always, the Canadiens will be going on their annual December road trip. It will last seven games from December 17-31. This year it is combined with the team’s trip to Western Canada before finishing in Tampa Bay, Florida, and Carolina.
Their annual California trip will take place from March 15-21. The team will go to Anaheim, Los Angeles, and San Jose before finishing the road trip in Colorado.
In all, the Canadiens will have 14 sets of back-to-backs this season, including their annual Super Bowl weekend matinees. This year they will host the Florida Panthers and Columbus Blue Jackets on February 1 and 2. They also have a pair of afternoon games in St. Louis and Minnesota in October.
13 of the 14 back-to-backs involve travel.
The Canadiens do not have any games from January 18-27.
