2021/22 NHL schedule and results in Excel .xlsx and csv formats

The post you’re currently reading is about the 2021/22 NHL schedule.  If you’re looking for the 2023/24 NHL schedule, you can find it in this post. Or, if you’re looking for the 2022/23 NHL schedule, you can find it in this post.

Note: The regular season has concluded, so the spreadsheet now covers the entire regular season.  It will not be updated further.

Another note: I’ve added another spreadsheet that also contains the playoff schedule.  You can read about it, and download the spreadsheet, from this post.

Here’s a copy of the 2021/22 NHL schedule and the results of each of the games played so far in Excel .xlsx format, and here’s another copy in CSV format.  Of course, the season hasn’t started yet, so the results are empty right now, but I’ll try to update them each morning through the regular season.

The Excel file consists of 2 worksheets: one contains the original NHL schedule as described in this post; the other, named As-Played Schedule, contains the same contents, with the addition of the scores for each team and whether the game hasn’t been played yet, was won in regulation time, overtime, or in a shootout.  Here’s a quick summary of the columns:

• Date: the date of the game
• Start Time (Sask): the game’s start time in Saskatchewan (where I live!)
• Start Time (ET): the game’s start time in Eastern time (which is the time the NHL website shows)
• Visitor: the name of the visiting team
• Score: the visiting team’s score if the game has been played, otherwise blank
• Home: the name of the home team
• Score: the home team’s score if the game has been played, otherwise blank
• Status: one of the following:
  • Scheduled: if the game hasn’t been played yet
  • Postponed: if the game has been postponed, but not yet rescheduled
  • Regulation: if the game ended in regulation time
  • OT: if the game ended in overtime
  • SO: if the game ended in a shootout

For example, here’s the first couple lines of the worksheet from last year’s file:

In this example, the game was played on January 13, 2021 at 4:30 PM in Saskatchewan and 5:30 PM Eastern time, the home team Philadelphia beat the visiting team Pittsburgh 6-3 in regulation time

Just a brief explanation why I’ve got two time fields in here.  Saskatchewan doesn’t observe Daylight Savings time, so for part of the schedule, we have a one-hour time difference from Eastern time, and for the rest of the schedule, we have a two-hour time difference.  Of course, I’m more interested in the time in Saskatchewan, but to make it easier for other people to use, I’ve also included Eastern time.

The CSV file contains only the As-Played worksheet.  It has the same fields as described for the Excel file.  You can easily import this file into Excel or whatever spreadsheet of your choice!
