Quick Summary

Manitoba has adopted permanent Daylight Saving Time, leading the NHL to adjust start times for 12 Winnipeg Jets regular season home games between November and March. Most Saturday night games will now begin at 7 p.m. instead of 6 p.m., while weekday games will be pushed back to 7:30 p.m. This change affects national broadcasts like "Saturday Night Hockey" which will also start an hour later in Manitoba.

Story summary

The Winnipeg Jets have had their start times for home games altered due to Manitoba's decision to adopt permanent Daylight Saving Time (DST), affecting games from November 1 to March 13. The NHL has moved most Saturday night games back an hour, changing them from the usual 6 p.m. puck drop to 7 p.m., and some weekday contests have been pushed back to 7:30 p.m. This change impacts twelve regular season home games, including matches against teams like Vegas on November 21 (new start time: 7 p.m.) and Utah on November 23 (new start time: 7 p.m.). The schedule adjustments aim to accommodate national broadcasts while other regions revert to Standard Time during the same period.
