CALGARY, Alberta — There’s a well-established pattern to any NHL road trip.

Players wake up in a boilerplate hotel, eat breakfast, bus to a boilerplate arena for morning skate, grab lunch, bus back to take a nap, return for the game, head straight to the airport afterward and land in another city in the early morning hours to repeat the routine.
