The Toronto Maple Leafs announced their 2018 NHL pre-season schedule Friday.

The Leafs will play eight preseason games in total, including one neutral site game, three games at home and four games on the road.

Toronto opens its preseason schedule with a game in Lucan, Ont. as part of Kraft Hockeyville 2018.

In addition to hosting the preseason game, the town will get a cash prize to upgrade their arena.

This year’s preseason schedule includes a home-and-home series with four Atlantic Division rivals – the Ottawa Senators, Buffalo Sabres, Montreal Canadiens and Detroit Red Wings.

Tickets for Maple Leafs preseason home games will be available through Ticketmaster.
