Montreal Canadiens goaltender Carey Price enjoyed a career season in 2014-15, winning the Hart and Vezina Trophies and the Ted Lindsay Award while also securing a share of the William Jennings Trophy (with Chicago's Corey Crawford). Price looks to pick up where he left off on Wednesday as the Canadiens open the 2015-16 season on the road against the Original Six-rival Toronto Maple Leafs.

The Chicago Blackhawks barely were able to breathe a sigh of relief after capturing their third Stanley Cup in six years before a busy offseason took their breath away. The Blackhawks look to get back to the business at hand when they open the 2015-16 season against the visiting New York Rangers on Wednesday.

The Vancouver Canucks don't have long to wait to begin exacting revenge for their quick exit last postseason as they visit the Pacific Division-rival Calgary Flames on Wednesday for the 2015-16 season opener for both teams. Vancouver fell to upstart Calgary in six games in their first-round series, losing all three contests at Scotiabank Saddledome to drop to 2-5 in playoff meetings with the Flames.

With a new coach, a new captain and a new goaltender, the San Jose Sharks hope to erase the memory of a disappointing campaign when they visit the Pacific Division-rival Los Angeles Kings on Wednesday for the 2015-16 season opener for both teams. After failing to qualify for the postseason for the first time since 2002-03, San Jose mutually parted ways with the winningest coach in franchise history in Todd McLellan, who was replaced by former Florida and New Jersey bench boss Peter DeBoer.
