The first entry is always the pin's source. Overall confidence is a weighted average of how firmly each reference supports the start and end times used above; a reference counts half as much for every 180 days older than the newest.
The NHL[3] has released only the regular-season schedule; Wikipedia's[2] 2026-27 NHL season page says the playoffs begin in April 2027 and end "with the Stanley Cup Final in June", with no dates, so early June 2027 is an estimate.
Gives the 29 September 2026 start, the 10 April 2027 regular-season end and only a month for the Final, which sets this pin's estimated date.[1]
The league's own schedule release covers the 84-game regular season but stops short of playoff dates.[1]
Something missing or wrong? Say it in your own words: a link that backs this pin up, a different start or end date and why, or a fact it lacks or gets wrong. The AI checks it against this pin's sources, searches for better ones, and adds any page that backs you up. The pin's own sources still count most.
