Never!Here is an idea.
why not Boston?
Why not Tampa?
do something new.
During the 2016-2017 season their home opener was Boston, when Marner scored his first NHL goal and this past season it was the Rangers that they won 8-5.Here is an idea.

I once had a streak of going to the Leafs season opener/home opener if their first game was played in Toronto. I went from the 2003-2004 season until the 2008-2009 season. One of the games I saw live was the very shootout in NHL history against Ottawa, which sucked since they lost. That night I remember Eric Lindros scoring his first Leafs goal at the 18:29 mark of the 3rd to give the Leafs a 2-1 lead, however Ottawa scored at the 18:58 mark to tie the game.Most memorable home openers for me don't involve Montreal or Ottawa. I remember the 6-0 beatdown on Pittsburgh in Belfour's first year, the beatdown on the Jets last year, the win against Detroit (I believe they were raising their cup banner). Give us something new IMO.

Plus their home openers the previous 2 seasons was against the Bruins in October 2016 and the Rangers in October 2017.Did that last season starting in Winnipeg, which I found curious in going completely out of the conference. Agree though that there are other teams in the division that would make for a change as well.
I wonder what the chances are of Price allowing another goal like this?Looks like Price forced to start the season with a 5.00 gaa or higher.

As for them starting in Winnipeg for their first game of last season, I think the NHL did that on purpose so they could get Matthews vs Laine.
Since the Leafs won that night 7-2 it was a great decision by the NHL.That's a great point regarding Matthews vs Laine. Sounds very much like that was the intention.
Once the full schedule is released next month the Leafs should be playing on Saturday that same week, so I assume the Sunday game for Chicago's home opener will be a Rogers Hometown Hockey broadcast and a back to back situation.No Saturday Game?
We open Chicago's home sched on Sunday.
Nice of the NHL to allow Bozak to get his return out of the way early
