Schedule and results

Preseason

The schedule was announced on August 4, 2021.[4]

Regular season

The schedule was announced on July 22, 2021,[5] and was tentative pending on whether the league and the International Olympic Committee reach a deal to send players to the 2022 Winter Olympics. If no deal would have been reached, then an alternative schedule without an Olympics break would have been released and up to 16 of the team's home dates would have been rescheduled.[6] An agreement was made on September 3, 2021.[7]

  2. The St. Louis Blues' third and sixth-round pick went to the San Jose Sharks as a result of a trade on July 24, 2021, that sent the Sharks' third-round pick to the Blues.[43]
