There will be 3 outdoor games this season. Winter Classic is Montreal at Boston. Stadium series is Red Wings at Avs and Chicago at Minnesota. I think it's Chicago. There were 2 games last season. Chicago at Washington was the Winter Dud. San Jose hosted LA. The Winter Classic will be held at the Pats stadium so there will be more fans than Fenway had for Flyers and Bruins. The Rangers can't host an outdoor game as the home team in NY. More HRR from the outdoor games this season which is all US dollars. Some analyst sees the loonie rallying to 78 cents at the end of this year and then coming under pressure again to drop again. The NHL Network and MLB Network should bring more money to HRR. However,MLB takes over in January. Maybe less money for this season. The NHL hasn't said anything. $100M per year plus $20M in savings with MLB running the network.
