The dates are listed below with times and opponents to be determined.

  • Saturday, October 8 (Home Opener)
  • Saturday, November 5
  • Sunday, December 4
  • Saturday, December 17
  • Friday, December 30

Last year, the Devils finished the season with 70 total points and a 32-42-1-5 record.  They finished in last place in the AHL's East Division.  It was their first year in Albany - after spending the previous 4 seasons in Lowell.

The American Hockey League will release the remaining schedule and opponents in August.
