Mark your calendars! The Carolina Hurricanes will host the New York Rangers on Friday, Oct. 28 in their 2016-17 home opener.

You may notice this date is later than usual, and this is due to the World Cup of Hockey slightly pushing back the start of the regular season and the State Fair rolling into town for an Oct. 13 opening.

As all teams revealed their 2016 home openers today, a second Hurricanes' game date has been added to the calendar: Thursday, Oct. 13 in Winnipeg.

The team’s remaining 80 regular-season games will be revealed on Tuesday afternoon. Keep it locked on CarolinaHurricanes.com to see the 2016-17 schedule in its entirety.

The Hurricanes’ home opener is included in all 2016-17 season ticket packages. 22- and 11-Game Flex Plans allow season ticket members to choose the games to fill in the remainder of their packages.
