When do rosters have to be official?

The 23-man roster limit is in place from the conclusion of the preseason until 12:01 am on the day of the NHL's Trade Deadline.

Is this accurate?

[post edited to reflect correct timeline, thanks to Kingsfan1!]

Final rosters are due at 5pm EST the day before opening night (so Tuesday by 5pm EST).

The NHL has an official press release shortly thereafter, with all 31 teams' official 23-man rosters, but you'll sometimes see teams independently release their final roster beforehand.

I stand corrected, thank you!

I just found that it is indeed 5pm EST the day before the start of the regular season.
