The Calgary Flames have released their full schedule for the 2016-17 season, which starts a week late this year thanks to the World Cup of Hockey.
The NHL season begins Oct 12th and concludes Apr 9th, 180 days in length.
Almost a week shorter than last years season which was 186 days

It begins with the battle of Alberta. The Flames host the Oilers on October 12th before being the first regular season opponent at Edmonton’s new arena – Roger’s Place – on October 14th.
New head coach Glen Gulutzan will face his former team the very next night when the team visits the Vancouver Canucks.
The team will then play their last game in Detroit’s Joe Louis Arena on November 20th. They have a lengthy wait until their first game against Pittsburgh – the defending cup champions – on February 7th.
The NHL trade deadline will be on February 28th, at 3pm (40th day immediately preceding the final day of the Regular Season)

The Flames have nine back-to-backs in the season, with the last one coming on February 23rd & 24th against Toronto and Montreal.
Things could get heated down south if the Flames are making a playoff push, as their final six games all come against the California teams.
Here’s a look at the full schedule for the Flames in 2016-17.
