Unlike 2018, the 2019 NHL preseason schedule for Canadian teams will be confined to North America with all but 4 games on Canadian soil. The Canadian preseason spectrum reaches from Victoria, BC to St. John's, NF.
Kraft Hockeyville will be in Renous, New Brunswick featuring the Montréal Canadiens on September 18. The game will actually be played in Bathurst, NB at the K.C. Irving Regional Centre.
The Vancouver Canucks will spotlight British Columbia with games in Abbotsford and Victoria. The Battle of Ontario will clash in St. John's.
Montréal will not host a preseason game at the Centre Videotron in Québec City. We're surprised, too.
