Rutgers M3 opens its 2026–27 home schedule under the lights at ProSkate on September 25, hosting TCNJ in a 7:00 p.m. primetime matchup. The two programs have not met in several years, with TCNJ making the move from ACHA Division II this season. The renewed in-state matchup should provide an early test for the Scarlet Knights and set the stage for a competitive home opener.
