{coyotes} NHL preseason schedule highlighted by arena debuts

The 2016-17 NHL preseason schedule, released Wednesday, features the first games at two NHL arenas.

On Sept. 26, the second day of the 15-day, 106-game schedule, the Edmonton Oilers open Rogers Place with a split-squad game against the Calgary Flames. Edmonton also will host the Anaheim Ducks on Oct. 4, the Winnipeg Jets on Oct. 6, and the Vancouver Canucks on Oct. 8 before playing its first regular-season home game, against the Flames on Oct. 12, opening night for the 2016-17 regular season.

Though the new Las Vegas franchise won't begin play until the 2017-18 season, the Los Angeles Kings will play at the city's T-Mobile Arena on back-to-back nights, against the Dallas Stars on Oct. 7 and the Colorado Avalanche on Oct. 8.

Kraft Hockeyville has become a staple of the preseason schedule, and this year Canada winner Lumby, British Columbia, and United States winner Marquette, Mich., will be in the spotlight. The Oilers and Kings play at Kal Tire Place in Vernon, British Columbia on Oct. 2 (9 p.m. ET; SN), and the Buffalo Sabres and Carolina Hurricanes play at Lakeview Arena in Marquette on Oct. 4 (7 p.m.. ET; NBCSN).
