2022-23 NHL Regular Season to Open on Oct. 11, per Commissioner Gary Bettman

The date falls in line with the 2021-22 campaign, which opened Oct. 12, and seems to be setting a trend of the NHL opening its season during the second week of October. The league has regularly moved back and forth between the first and second weeks of the month.
