Amazon Prime Video has set the schedule for its first season of Wednesday Night Hockey, with the 27-game national package opening Sept. 30 when the Toronto Maple Leafs host the New York Islanders.

Montreal will appear most often among Canadian teams, with seven games. Toronto follows with six, Edmonton with five, and Calgary, Winnipeg and Ottawa with four each. Vancouver will feature twice.

The schedule includes several marquee matchups. Brady Tkachuk will return to Ottawa with the Florida Panthers on Oct. 21, followed a week later by a Battle of Alberta between the Edmonton Oilers and Calgary Flames.

Prime subscribers in Canada will be able to watch the games in English and French at no additional cost. The package forms part of a 12-year sub-licensing agreement with Rogers, which also gives Prime Video two first-round and one second-round Stanley Cup playoff series each season.
