There are no NHL games today, October 10, 2025, because the NHL schedule has a gap on this Friday night. The league had a busy schedule on Thursday and has a full schedule again on Saturday, causing Friday to be an off day for NHL games. This one-day lull in the NHL schedule is unusual but was caused by the tight scheduling of games around it. However, professional hockey continues with the American Hockey League (AHL) opening night on this day, so fans can watch AHL games instead if they want to see hockey tonight.
On the next day, October 11, 2025, all 32 NHL teams are in action, featuring a full 16-game schedule beginning from early afternoon through late evening.
