Schedule Breakdown

The Canes will play all Metropolitan Division teams four times, twice at home and twice on the road, with the exception of the Columbus Blue Jackets and Washington Capitals. Carolina will only face those two teams, and all eight Atlantic Division teams three times due to the addition of the Seattle Kraken, in order to keep the schedule at 82 games.
The Canes will play all Western Conference opponents twice, one at home and once on the road.

Home Ice Advantage

Carolina finished 29-8-4 at PNC Arena during the 2021-22 regular season campaign, the fifth-most wins at home by any NHL club.
The team's longest home stretch of the upcoming schedule will be just five games, taking place from Thursday, February 16 to Saturday, February 25.
Conversely, the club will have a six-game road trip from November 29 to December 13, including stops in Pittsburgh, St. Louis, Los Angeles, Anaheim, Long Island and Detroit.

Active Around The Holidays

Whether you're looking for something to do with the family, or an excuse to get away from them, the Canes schedule can assist with both this season.
The team will take on the Arizona Coyotes the night before American Thanksgiving (Wednesday, November 23) and then be right back in action for a Black Friday matinee in Boston. They'll then return right back home for a special Saturday 4 p.m. puck drop at PNC Arena against the Calgary Flames.
Leading into the holiday break the Canes will play December 20, 22 and 23, with both the opening and closing game of the trio being at home. Following the league-mandated off days of December 24-26, the team will get immediately back to work on December 27 at home against the Chicago Blackhawks.
Then, the team will close out the calendar year with contests December 30 and January 1. New Year's Day will be an afternoon contest in Newark against the New Jersey Devils.

All-Star Break

The 2023 Honda All-Star Game is slated to take place in Sunrise, FL on February 3-4.
Hosted by the Florida Panthers at FLA Live Arena, the league will host the Honda All-Star Skills on Friday the 3rd and then the Honda NHL All-Star Game on Saturday the 4th.
Because of this the Canes will not have games from Thursday, February 2 until Saturday, February 11, their longest stretch without a game.
