His opener comes at home on Labor Day against TCU.

Home-ice advantage seems to be a real thing so far in the NHL playoffs Home-ice advantage hasnt really existed over the past couple of years in the Stanley Cup playoffs.

In 2023 and 2024, visiting teams won more games than the home teams did.

Entering Wednesday, home teams were 10-3 in this postseason.

And Tampa Bay, Ottawa, St.

Louis and Minnesota are surely hoping that trend continues as they get set for Thursday home games.
