December 2026 at a glance

There are 214 NHL games in December 2026, from Dec 1 to Dec 31. The Columbus Blue Jackets play the most, 15 of them, while the Chicago Blackhawks play 10 — a gap worth knowing before you judge a standings table this early. Games already played show the final score in place of the matchup, so this page is worth returning to through the month.

A month is the lighter way to read the season: this page carries only December 2026, while the whole-season grid puts all 1344 regular-season games on one screen — the view that shows who has a congested stretch coming and who has games in hand. For a single club, the team name at the start of each row above opens that team's own schedule.
