With news that a collective bargaining agreement has been agreed upon, ratified and a memorandum of understanding has been signed, hockey is officially back after 119 days.

With that news, the New Jersey Devils have released their 2013 regular season schedule.

The Devils will open their season on the road January 19th against the New York Islanders. They'll then return home for two home games, including their home opener, against the Philadelphia Flyers January 22nd. Their second home game will be Friday the 25th against the Washington Capitals.

New Jersey will play five games against two divisional opponents, the New York Islanders and Philadelphia Flyers. The Devils will host Philadelphia in three of the five games, and host the Islanders two out of the five. They'll only play the Pittsburgh Penguins and New York Rangers four times each.

Their longest home stand is three games. Same thing goes for their longest road trip.

New Jersey closes out the season on the road Saturday April 27th in a game against their division rival, the New York Rangers.
