#2 Montreal Canadiens, Oct. 10
The home opener for all 32 teams is one of the biggest games of the year, but the Boston Bruins home opener is a battle of two original six teams as they take on the Montreal Canadiens.
Boston and Montreal have a historic rivalry so whenever they play, the game is always a must-watch, and given it is the Bruins home opener, it adds some excitement to the game.
#3 Toronto Maple Leafs, Oct. 26
Boston eliminated the Toronto Maple Leafs in the first round of the Stanley Cup playoffs and their first meeting will be in Boston on Saturday night.
The game will be nationally broadcast in Canada. It's a test to see where both teams stand and could be an early playoff preview.

#4 Edmonton Oilers, Dec. 19
Any game against the Edmonton Oilers will be a must-watch for opposing teams as they get to see Connor McDavid play.
McDavid is the best player in hockey and the Oilers are the betting favorite to win the Stanley Cup going into the season, so it will be a good test to see how the Bruins stack up against them.
#5 Utah, Oct. 19
Boston will play their first game in Utah on October 19, as it will be a historic game for the Bruins. Utah is a new team in the NHL this season, so this is the first time Boston plays in Utah, which should see plenty of Bruins fans travel to the game.
