The NHL released teams' schedules Wednesday, and the Wild will open the 2022-23 season at home against the New York Rangers on Thursday, Oct. 13.

It will be the first time since 2014 that the Wild open at home, and it will play its first four at Xcel Energy Center.

The first road game is Oct. 22 at Boston, the start of a five-game road trip.

The longest homestand is seven games, from Feb. 9-21.

Two of the Wild's three meetings with Stanley Cup champion Colorado will be in St. Paul. The Wild also plays Central Division foe Nashville three times, and has four games each against Arizona, Chicago, Dallas, St. Louis and Winnipeg.

The regular season ends April 13 in Nashville.
