Blues release 2021-2022 season game start times

When the NHL released the 2021-2022 schedule for us to parse and analyze, we were able to circle the back to backs, the Saturday games, the pending road trips to Nashville now that the Blues are back in the Central where they belong.

One thing was missing, though: the start times.

Those were finally released for all NHL teams today, so now you can plan accordingly. The new season begins in Colorado on October 16th, and will start in St. Louis on October 23rd against the Los Angeles Kings. As of right now, the league has a break scheduled in February in hopes of attending the 2022 Winter Olympics in Beijing, with the All Star Game leading into the Olympic break.

Right now, the only game with a TBD start time is the Winter Classic at Target Field.
