ST. LOUIS — The St. Louis Blues will welcome Vladimir Tarasenko and the Minnesota Wild to town for the regular-season opener Oct. 9 at Enterprise Center.
Among the many roster changes that transpired over the offseason, Tarasenko was traded from the Red Wings to the Wild, so there will be some new faces in new places when the Blues take the ice in 2025-26.

Some others are more recent Blues players facing their former team, such as Zack Bolduc (Montreal Canadiens), Nick Leddy (San Jose Sharks) and Radek Faksa (Dallas Stars).
But perhaps specific players aren't of the most interest to you — it's teams.
Well, after the way the 2024-25 season wrapped up, you'll want to know that the Winnipeg Jets make their first trip to St. Louis Dec. 17.
The Blues can begin to get the taste of that excruciating first-round playoff loss out of their mouths when they drop the puck on the preseason Sept. 20 against the Dallas Stars — the first of six exhibition games that were announced earlier this week.
