2026-27 NHL ยท the schedule
๐ Back-to- backs
The second night of a back-to-back is where goalies get decided
A club on the second night of a back-to-back usually starts its backup, and the market knows it a day late. The Penguins play fifteen this season, the most in the league; the Flames play eight, the fewest. Every club is counted below with the dates, so the streaming decision is made before the lineup is posted, not after.
