Here's the details on this season's schedule. Trips = number of days the team will be on a plane traveling between cities for an NHL game. KM = total kilometers to travel over the course of the upcoming season. KM/trip is just the average trip distance.

You can see the NHL does a pretty good job balancing the schedule. Also, there is a significant relationship between average trip length number of days on a plane.
