Washington did not face the Bruins during its Cup run but has beaten them 12 consecutive times. The Capitals were there for the Penguins’ banner-raising ceremony in 2016 after losing to Pittsburgh in the second round.

The Western Conference-champion Vegas Golden Knights open their second season on Oct. 4 against the Philadelphia Flyers.

As previously announced, the New Jersey Devils will face the Edmonton Oilers in each team’s season opener on Oct. 6 in Gothenburg, Sweden, after finishing up exhibition play in Europe.
