The Detroit Red Wings today announced its 2015-2016 schedule, which features 20 weekend home games as well as a home-and-home series against the Chicago Blackhawks, the 2015 Stanley Cup champions.
Opening night will be held on Oct. 9 at Joe Louis Arena in downtown Detroit against the Toronto Maple Leafs and the Red Wings’ former head coach, Mike Babcock.
