Summer is nearing an end, and that means the new NHL season is almost upon us.

But first comes the pre-season, and Sportsnet will have plenty of action to get fans prepped for the 2018-19 campaign, airing a total of 14 games, including: two games in China between the Calgary Flames and Boston Bruins on Sept. 15 and 19, the Kraft Hockeyville clash on Sept. 18 between the Toronto Maple Leafs and Ottawa Senators in Lucan, Ont., and exhibition games from Switzerland and Germany in early October.

The pre-season broadcast schedule will be highlighted by a Saturday night double-header on Sept. 29 when the Detroit Red Wings host the Maple Leafs (7:00 p.m. ET/4:00 p.m. PT), followed by the Vancouver Canucks against the Arizona Coyotes in Kelowna, B.C. (10:00 p.m. ET/7:00 p.m. PT).
