Bruins to play 10 of 14 final games on the road in 2018-19

DALLAS – The Bruins will finish the 2018-19 season on another brutal road stretch, where they’ll play 10 of their final 14 games on the road.

The NHL released the full schedule Thursday after announcing the home-openers Wednesday. Boston will open the season against the Capitals Oct. 3 – the night Washington will raise its Stanley Cup Championship banner.

They’ll also play in Buffalo Oct. 4 for the Sabres home-opener before returning to the TD Garden for their first home game – a 1 p.m. Columbus Day matinee Oct. 8.

Last season, the Bruins ended with 11 of 16 games on the road. They lost seven them, including critical ones down the stretch against the Lightning, Flyers, and Panthers. The Bruins lost the regular-season finale to the Panthers and they squandered the chance to clinch the No. 1 seed in the Eastern Conference.

The Bruins’ trip west takes place in February with five straight games against Anaheim, Los Angeles, San Jose, Vegas and St. Louis.

Two outdoor games will be played this year, one between the Bruins and Blackhawks on New Year’s Day in South Bend, Indiana, at Notre Dame Stadium. The other is Feb. 23, when the Flyers and Penguins will play at Lincoln Financial Field.

Regular season Bruins tickets go on sale June 22 at 2 p.m.
