The St. Louis Blues released their 2016-17 regular season schedule on tuesday, featuring road and home contests against all other 29 NHL teams in nearly a six-month span.

St. Louis will enter their 50th anniversary season with a similar workload to years past.  That includes 82 games total and 28 matchups against Central Division opponents.

On average, the Blues will play about 14 games per month. Ken Hitchcock’s team will be challenged with games on back-to-back nights 12 times throughout the season and faces its largest monthly action in March with 15 games.

While each regular season game presents the same opportunity to gain to points and climb up the standings, a few matchups may appeal to fans’ interest more than others. Of the Blues 41 home games, five currently stand out based on renewed rivalries and recent trends.
