The Flyers and Penguins are taking it outside.
An outdoor game on Feb. 18, 2017, between the Flyers and Penguins at Heinz Field in Pittsburgh has been announced by the NHL as part of its annual Stadium Series.
The Pittsburgh Tribune-Review first reported the announcement.
On Feb. 5, a league source told CSNPhilly.com's Tim Panaccio that the NHL was working toward scheduling a Flyers-Penguins outdoor game.
It appears to be a home-and-home series, as the Flyers in 2019 will host the Penguins in an outdoor at either Lincoln Financial Field or Citizens Bank Park, according to a report Wednesday by the Philadelphia Inquirer. The NHL has made no such announcement.
The Flyers have played two outdoor games in the past — the 2010 Winter Classic at Fenway Park and 2012 Winter Classic at Citizens Bank Park.
