Finally, the NHL season is upon us after another long offseason as it opens with a four-game slate Wednesday night.
The league announced the 23-man units for all 30 teams as of 10 a.m. ET Wednesday morning. They also revealed which players are starting the year listed as injured. There are some big names in that group including Nicklas Backstrom, Pavel Datsyuk, Jordan Eberle, Zdeno Chara, among others.
But most teams are going to be coming into the year relatively healthy. Here’s a look at all 30 rosters as the 2015-16 season opens.
