The Stars now know when the Pete DeBoer Era will begin: Oct. 13 in Nashville.
As part of the league-wide 2022-23 schedule release on Thursday afternoon, the NHL announced that the Stars will open the season on the road against the Predators, and Dallas’ home opener at the American Airlines Center will come two days later on Oct. 15 vs. Nashville.
The Stars will again spend a decent chunk of time on the road at the start of the season, as 11 of the team’s first 17 games are on the road. Last season, eight of the team’s first 11 games were on the road. In 2019, seven of the first 10 were on the road.
It will even out from Jan. 21 to March 6, when the Stars play 14 of 17 games at the American Airlines Center. That stretch is highlighted by a season-long, eight-game home stand sandwiched around the All-Star break.
During that seven-week period, the Stars will not have a multi-game road trip, only leaving Dallas for single games at Minnesota (Feb. 17), at Vegas (Feb. 25) and at Chicago (March 2).
Here are some other takeaways from the Stars schedule:
— The longest road trip of the season is a six-game trip from March 9-18, and it’s an odd one.
It begins in Buffalo, followed by a game two days later in Seattle. The Stars stay in Seattle for another game against the Kraken, a series of road games that the Stars only had once last season (two straight games in Anaheim). The trip finishes in Canada at Vancouver, Edmonton and Calgary.
The second-longest trip of the season is in mid-December, through the Eastern Conference: Pittsburgh, New Jersey, Washington, Carolina and Columbus.
— The season could come down to the last two games: a back-to-back, home-and-home series against the Blues. The Stars have repeatedly shown that they will be in the playoff chase until the last week of the season, and two dates against the division rival Blues form an exciting punctuation to the regular season.
— The Stars will not have to wait long to welcome Rick Bowness and the Jets back to Dallas. Winnipeg visits the American Airlines Center on Oct. 17 for the Stars’ third game of the season, and the Jets’ first road game of the year.
Bowness took the Jets head coaching job this week after spending four seasons in Dallas as an assistant, interim and then head coach.
— Dallas will see another former head coach early in the season, when it travels to Boston to face Jim Montgomery and the Bruins on Oct. 25. Montgomery spent parts of two seasons with the Stars before he was fired for unprofessional conduct in Dec. 2019.
Montgomery spent the last two seasons as an assistant coach in St. Louis, but the job in Boston is his first head gig since leaving Dallas. The Bruins do not come to Dallas until Feb. 14.
— The Stars will be one of the few teams that pay an early-season visit to Arizona’s new arena on the Arizona State campus. The Coyotes only have four home games in their first 24 overall, and the Stars are one of them on Nov. 3.
The building (shared with the Sun Devils hockey program) is the smallest in the league and the Coyotes only have one home Saturday game until mid-March.
— The Stanley Cup champion Avalanche will visit the American Airlines Center on Nov. 21 and March 4. That’s in addition to a preseason visit on Oct. 3.
— The Stars (and Jake Oettinger) will face the Flames for the first time since last season’s first round on Jan. 14 in Dallas.
— DeBoer will make his return to Vegas on Jan. 16 after he coached there for parts of three seasons.
— There are four Stars games that could be on the same day as Cowboys games.
On Nov. 13, the Stars play at Philadelphia at noon and the Cowboys play at Green Bay at 3:25 p.m. On Dec. 4, the Stars host Minnesota at 2 p.m. while the Cowboys host the Colts at 7:25 p.m.
On Dec. 29, the Stars visit the Wild at 7 p.m., going up ahead of the Cowboys’ Week 17 game at Tennessee (7:15 p.m.). The Stars play on Jan. 8 against the Panthers at noon, which would be Week 18 of the NFL season.
