The Detroit Red Wings released their 2024-2025 season schedule yesterday, and Detroit Hockey Now’s Bob Duff discusses some of the significant dates on the sked:
The Detroit Red Wings will be counting on some home cooking to get the 2024-25 NHL regular season off to a tasty start. The Red Wings open the season with back-to-back home games – Pittsburgh (Oct. 10) and Nashville (Oct. 12).
In fact, seven of the first 11 Red Wings games will be taking place on home ice at Little Caesars Arena. On the flip side, the Red Wings will close out regular-season play with five of the last six and 10 of the final 15 games on the road.

The team will play a pair of four-game homestands – from December 23-31 and from January 7-14. There are a quartet of four-game road swings, three of them in the New Year. The first is from November 13-18. There are also four-game road swings on January 16-21, and from January 30-February 4. Detroit will also play four in a row away from home March 18-25.
Continued; the Red Wings’ schedule is typically more home-heavy over the first half of the season, and then road-heavy after January 1st. I don’t know why that is.
