It's the eighth toughest schedule in the league.

They're going to be playing a game every two days, 25 games in 48 days.

They've started.

The practices have resumed.

They're going to ramp up over this next week until they return to action.

That's going to be on Thursday night.

Prior to that, the trade freeze is going to expire, the trade freeze, the Olympic trade freeze.

So are we going to see any movement early Monday morning and beyond?

No.

And the Canadians, when they return to the schedule, the two games that they have, kind of a luxury, I guess.

They're going to host two games at the Bell Center.

Thursday, as I mentioned, that one's against the Islanders.

And then Saturday against the Washington Capitals.

So three California teams are going to play the Sharks.

Then comes the trade deadline, Friday, March 6th.

Then the Anaheim Ducks.

Then the Los Angeles Kings.

15 games, seven home games, eight on the road in the month of March.

As I said, every two days, you'll have a Canadiens game.

Generally, you'll have a game to watch every couple of days.
