St. Louis opens the regular season on the road against the Colorado Avalanche on Oct. 16.

Neal registered five goals and five assists in 29 games last season with the Edmonton Oilers.

He has 555 points (294 goals, 261 assists) and 581 penalty minutes in 850 games with the Dallas Stars (2008-11), Pittsburgh Penguins (2011-14), Nashville Predators (2014-17), Vegas Golden Knights (2017-18), Calgary Flames (2018-19) and Oilers.
