NEW YORK (Ticker) -- The 2003-04 NHL season will include an outdoor meeting between the Edmonton Oilers and Montreal Canadiens, a contest between the Buffalo Sabres and New Jersey Devils in Rochester, New York and more intraconference games.

Released Wednesday, the season begins Oct. 8 with three games and ends April 4 for its earliest conclusion since 1990-91.

The Oilers and Canadiens will face each other at Edmonton's 50,000-seat Commonwealth Stadium on Nov. 22 -- the 86th anniversary of the league's inception. The game will follow a contest of alumni from both franchises, including Wayne Gretzky and Guy Lafleur.
