ST. LOUIS - The St. Louis Blues will be nationally televised on NBC Sports Network 10 times during the 2017-18 regular season.

The Blues will be featured in the League's first national TV game of the year on Wednesday, Oct. 4 at 7 p.m. as they face off against former teammate Ryan Reaves and the defending Stanley Cup Champion Pittsburgh Penguins.

The Blues will also be featured on NBCSN's Wednesday Night Rivalry five times throughout the season, including Opening Night and two matchups with the Chicago Blackhawks (Oct. 18 and April 4). Other rivalry night games include Feb. 28 against the former division rival Detroit Red Wings and March 21 vs. David Backes and the Boston Bruins.

Other national TV highlights include two meetings with the Minnesota Wild in February (Feb. 6 and 27) and a showdown with Connor McDavid and the Edmonton Oilers on Nov. 21.

NBC and NBCSN will combine to televise 99 regular-season NHL games during the upcoming season, and all games will also be streamed live on NBCSports.com and on the NBC Sports App.

"We're proud to offer our most diverse NHL schedule ever to fans across the country," said Sam Flood, Executive Producer for NBC Sports. "From classic rivalries and historic franchises, to young stars such as Auston Matthews and Connor McDavid, a hockey-crazed market in Nashville, and a new franchise in Vegas, this schedule represents our commitment to present the NHL's diverse and emerging stars, teams and stories."

Blues games televised on FOX Sports Midwest will be released at a later date.
