It's Hockey's Opening Night: See Pics of Brooks Laich, Tyler Seguin & More of the NHL's Hottest Players

We list the guys this season who have caught our eyes on and off the ice

It seems like it was just yesterday the NHL season wrapped up, with the Chicago Blackhawks winning yet another Stanley Cup, their third in the last six seasons. 

Now with the 2015-2016 NHL season starting tonight (with the New York Rangers against the Blackhawks on NBC Sports Network at 8 p.m. ET), we feel it is our civic duty to provide you with the most important information for the dropping of the puck, and no it isn't that the New York Islanders are playing in Brooklyn this season. 

If there is one thing that excites us more than the fast-paced tempo of the games, it is that the ice is littered with some of the hottest men on the planet.  And obviously celebs like Carrie Underwood, Julianne Hough and Erin Andrews agree with us. 

So to make the upcoming season easy for you, we have compiled a list of the hottest guys in the NHL to pay attention to, which includes players like Tyler Seguin (Google his abs), Ryan Kesler (underwear modeling picture included) and Brooks Laich's million-dollar smile. 

(E! and NBC Sports Network are both part of the NBCUniversal family.)
