WATCH Bruins vs. Flyers Live Stream Online, NHL 2014 Opening Day: Listen To Free Hockey Game Coverage From Boston, Power Rankings

It's finally that time of year - hockey season!

The Boston Bruins battle it out on the ice against the Philadelphia Flyers in Game 1 of the series on Wednesday, October 8 at 7:30 p.m. EST at the legendary TD Garden in Massachusetts. Read on to see where fans can watch and listen to a live stream of the "Opening Day" hockey game online and catch up-to-date feeds and coverage on highlight plays and scores.

Heading into the 2014 regular season, the Bruins snag the No. 5 spot in ESPN.com's official NHL power rankings:

"Still the cream of the Eastern Conference crop even though they still face some serious salary cap issues. Keep them away from the Habs, and the Bruins should be back to the Cup finals once again."

Meanwhile, the Flyers currently hold the No. 22 spot (out of 30 total teams):

"The Flyers need to get off to a much better start than a year ago (stating the obvious) and that'll mean more magic from Steve Mason in goal and Claude Giroux up front. Michael Del Zotto is an interesting figure on the blue line, where questions remain aplenty for the Flyers."

The game will be broadcasted live on NBCS, but fans can also listen in on the radio at Sports Hub 98.5, ESPN 101.3, 97.5 The Fanatic, and 94 WIP.
