Like the rest of the 28-team AHL, the Monarchs will play an unbalanced 80-game schedule consisting of 40 home games and 40 road games. Sixty of the Monarchs 80 games (75 percent of the schedule) will be played against teams in the Atlantic Division, which includes the Hartford Wolf Pack, the Lowell Lock Monsters, the Portland Pirates, the Providence Bruins, the Springfield Falcons and the Worcester IceCats. The Monarchs will meet Lowell 12 times (six times at home), Portland, Providence, Springfield and Worcester 10 times (five times at home) and Hartford eight times (four times at home).
The Monarchs will also face all seven teams residing in the Eastern Conference's East Division in the upcoming campaign. The East Division includes the Albany River Rats, the Binghamton Senators, the Bridgeport Sound Tigers, the Hershey Bears, the Norfolk Admirals, the Philadelphia Phantoms and the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins. The Monarchs will meet Bridgeport four times (two times at home) and Albany, Binghamton, Hershey, Norfolk, Philadelphia and Wilkes-Barre/Scranton twice (one time at home).
The Monarchs will play their lone Western Conference opponent, the Utah Grizzlies, four times (two times at home). The Grizzlies are members of the West Division.
The AHL's 69th season will once again comprise a total of 1,120 games. The league's regular season will begin on Wednesday, October 13, and conclude on Sunday, April 17.
