    Anyone know if Hockey teams travel on game day?

    Not including Devils/Rangers or similarly situated teams. But, for example, did the Pens leave today for New York, or will they fly out tomorrow morning for 7:00 pm game tomorrow night?

    Thanks for the input Wild.....

    I found this from a 2010 Pens blog

    7:20 AM:
    A long day for the Penguins today. The team is currently on the plane and waiting to take off for the Canadian Capital - Ottawa - to take on the Senators. The Pens will fly out this morning, head straight to the rink for the morning skate, hit the hotel for lunch/nap, back to the rink for the game and fly back to Pittsburgh following the game.

    We are set to take off at 8 a.m. Normally the team travels to a visiting the city the day before a game, but the NHL allows teams to travel the day of a game on Dec. 26 because of Christmas (by the way, hope Santa treated you all well!).

    I guess teams need to be in arena for morning skate so I would assume that NY teams even go to Philly the night before.

    Prust tweeted last night that he had arrived in Ottawa finally and was now going to bed. I'm pretty sure they would all hope on a plane straight after the game. That was a b2b game situation though.
