Canes Announce 2024-25 Regular Season Schedule

Some features of the Hurricanes’ 2024-25 regular-season schedule:

OPENING AT HOME: The Hurricanes will begin the season at home for the seventh time in the last eight seasons. Carolina opened the 2023-24 regular season with a 5-3 win over the Ottawa Senators at PNC Arena, and the team has won each of its last four season openers on home ice.

WELCOME TO UTAH: Carolina will play its first two games against Utah Hockey Club during the franchise’s inaugural season. The Hurricanes will travel to Salt Lake City for their first-ever meeting at Delta Center on Wednesday, Nov. 13, and the teams will meet again at PNC Arena on Saturday, Feb. 8.

GOING BACK-TO-BACK: The Hurricanes will play 16 sets of back-to-back games in 2024-25, marking their most in any season since 2018-19 (17). They played 14 back-to-backs in each of the previous three campaigns, with an 18-6-4 overall record in those contests last season.

DÉJÀ VU: Carolina will also play three home-and-home, back-to-back sets against the same opponent, including the first two games of the season against Tampa Bay on Oct. 11-12. The Hurricanes will also face Florida on Nov. 29-30 and New Jersey on Dec. 27-28.

METRO MATCHUPS: Carolina will face off against the Philadelphia Flyers (Nov. 5, Nov. 20, March 15) and Pittsburgh Penguins (Oct. 18, Nov. 7, Jan. 5) just three times in 2024-25, as each team now plays four games against only five divisional opponents each season. The Hurricanes faced the New Jersey Devils and New York Rangers three times in 2023-24.

TAKING ON THE CHAMPS: The Hurricanes will square off against the defending Stanley Cup Champion Florida Panthers three times this season. The teams will play a back-to-back, home-and-home series on Nov. 29-30, and Carolina will return to Amerant Bank Arena on Thursday, Jan. 2.

ROAD SCHOLARS: Carolina’s 2024-25 schedule includes six road trips of at least three games, with a season-long, six-game trip through Pittsburgh, St. Louis, Edmonton, Calgary, Seattle and Vancouver from Oct. 18-28.

HOUSE ARREST: The Hurricanes’ schedule also features seven homestands of at least three games, including a season-long, five-game homestand against the Wild, Penguins, Maple Leafs, Canucks and Ducks from Jan. 4-12.
