Mighty Ducks stars reunite for Anaheim Ducks draft pick
The Anaheim Ducks reunited “Mighty Duck” actors Joshua Jackson (Charlie Conway) and Marguerite Moreau (Connie Moreau) to make their NHL Draft pick.
The Devils now know the who, when and where they’ll be playing all 82 games during the 2025-26 regular season with the NHL schedule being released this afternoon.
New Jersey hits the road to start next season’s campaign, as the Devils begin their regular season where last year’s ended in the first round of the playoffs, in Carolina against the Hurricanes on Thursday, October 9 at 7 p.m.
That will be followed by two more games in Tampa Bay against the Lightning on Saturday, October 11 at 7 p.m. and then on Monday, October 13 at 7 p.m. against the Columbus Blue Jackets
The Devils are officially the team with the latest home opener in the NHL next season, which will take place on Thursday, October 16 versus the reigning, back-to-back Stanley Cup champion Florida Panthers at the Prudential Center. Three other teams are the next closest on Tuesday, October 14 (Anaheim Ducks, Dallas Stars and Montreal Canadiens).
The longest road trip of the season is five games in 10 days, which happens twice next season. The first occasion will be Wednesday, November 12 against the Chicago Blackhawks and ending on Saturday, November 22 against the Philadelphia Flyers.
The second instance will be late in the season, beginning on March 18, 2026 against the New York Rangers and coming to a close on March 28 in Raleigh against the Hurricanes.
Before that final five game stretch away from the Prudential Center will be the longest homestand for the Devils, spanning seven games in 13 days. That starts on March 3 versus the Panthers and concludes on March 16 versus the Boston Bruins.
