The Arizona Coyotes will play in the first NHL game in Wichita, Kansas, set for the 2022-23 preseason.

The Coyotes will take on the St. Louis Blues at INTRUST Bank Arena on Sept. 24.

Ticket information for the game and the complete slate of preseason matchups will be announced at a later date.

“We are excited to play the Blues at INTRUST Bank Arena,” Coyotes general manager Bill Armstrong said in a press release. “We look forward to bringing NHL hockey to the great fans in Wichita on Sept. 24.”
