And a second outdoor game, a revival of The Heritage Classic, will be between Calgary and Montreal on Feb. 20th at McMahon Stadium in Calgary. This game still has to be approved by the Competition Committee, but I see no problems there.
Also, six teams, the Boston Bruins, Carolina Hurricanes, Columbus Blue Jackets, Minnesota Wild, Phoenix Coyotes and San Jose Sharks will open their seasons overseas.
The Hurricanes and Wild will play two regular-season games against one another at Hartwall Areena in Helsinki, Finland, on Thursday, Oct. 7 and Friday, Oct. 8. The Blue Jackets and Sharks will square off for two games at the Ericsson Globe Arena in Stockholm, Sweden, on Friday, Oct. 8 and Saturday, Oct. 9. Meanwhile, the Bruins and Coyotes will play each other at O2 Arena in Prague, Czech Republic, on Saturday, Oct. 9 and Sunday, Oct. 10. http://www.nhl.com/ice/news.htm?id=530410
