Both clubs open their season on Oct. 3, tip‑off at 9 p.m. ET, in a game that will hinge on who can impose their defensive structure first.

It’s a clean‑cut test of depth and special‑team readiness before the schedule tightens, so weigh the goaltending matchup and decide which club can dictate the pace. Join the discussion on StreakChat and make your pick.
