The Arizona Coyotes announced their 2019 preseason schedule on Thursday, releasing a slate that includes two home games.

The Coyotes will begin the preseason on Sunday, Sept. 15 with a road game against the Vegas Golden Knights at 1:30 p.m. 

They’ll follow that up with a split-squad against the Los Angeles Kings on Tuesday, Sept. 17. The home game will begin at 7 p.m. and the road game will be at 7:30 p.m.

The split squad is the first of the two home games, with the second one coming on Saturday, Sept. 21 against the Anaheim Ducks. That one is at 6 p.m.

Road games on Sept. 24, Sept. 26 and Sept. 28 round out the preseason schedule with games against the Oilers, Canucks and Ducks respectively.

Admission to the home preseason games will be free for first responders, service members and kids 14 and under.

“We see this as a fantastic opportunity to say thank you to those who keep us safe, as well as to invite the next generation of Our Pack out to Gila River Arena,” president and CEO Ahron Cohen said in a statement.

The NHL regular season schedule will reportedly be announced on June 25.
