NHL unveils season-opening rosters for 2024-25
The NHL has announced all 32 opening-night rosters for the start of the 2024-25 season.
Per league rules, each team is required to have at least 20 active players, but no more than 23. Teams have the chance to alter their rosters and make other transactions in the lead-up to their respective season openers this week.
The new season kicks off with three games on Tuesday, Oct. 8. The Seattle Kraken host the St. Louis Blues at 4:30 p.m. ET, with the defending Stanley Cup champion Florida Panthers facing off with the Boston Bruins at 7 p.m. ET. The night cap will see Connor Bedard and the Chicago Blackhawks take on the Utah Hockey Club for the relocated franchise’s home opener at 10 p.m. ET.
There are several young stars ready to make impacts in their rookie seasons. Matvei Michkov (Philadelphia Flyers), Cutter Gauthier (Anaheim Ducks), Logan Stankoven (Dallas Stars) and this year’s No. 1 overall draft pick, Macklin Celebrini (San Jose Sharks), are all early favorites for the Calder Trophy.
