The National Hockey League released the date and opponent for each team's 2014-15 home opener Saturday, which by way of deduction, means we now know which teams will play on opening night.

Here are the four games that will get the new season going on October 8:

  • Philadelphia Flyers at Boston Bruins
  • Montreal Canadiens at Toronto Maple Leafs
  • Vancouver Canucks at Calgary Flames
  • San Jose Sharks at Los Angeles Kings

No shortage of intrigue there, with the final game of the night having some added spice due to how the Kings and Sharks each ended their respective 2014 playoff runs.

The full list of home openers can be viewed here.

Buckle up, hockey fans. Only three and a half months to go!
