Bruins' Schedule Includes a Game Starting at 11 p.m. Boston-Time originally appeared on NESN. Add NESN as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
The Boston Bruins' fanbase will have one game to stay up extra late in order to root on their team.
The NHL's new schedule release for the 2026-27 season includes the fact that the Bruins will play at 11 p.m. ET on October 13.
That game won't be in Boston, of course: It's in San Jose against the Sharks.
So it's an 8 p.m. puck drop out west, but a late night watching the television back in Boston.

Making matters tougher? That's a Tuesday night.
It's safe to say that many Bruins fans will catch up on that game the next morning.
It is one of those sneakily intriguing matchups, though. The Sharks are led by the phenomenal Macklin Celebrini.
Celebrini, a young Canadian, just had the third-best points season by a 19-year old in NHL history, behind just Wayne Gretzky and Sidney Crosby.
The youngster also scored five goals at the Olympics to lead Team Canada in that category.
Because of their geographies and conferences, the Bruins and Sharks don't get to see a lot of each other, so that'll be a chance for Boston to get an early-season look at what kinds of improvements Celebrini might have made in the offseason. It'll also be a chance to prove that the goalie and defense are locked in a couple weeks into the campaign.
That just might all be morning-after news for the fans back in Boston -- or at least to an extent when everyone falls asleep on their couches during the second intermission.
