The Calgary Flames and Winnipeg Jets begin a slate of three regular-season outdoor NHL games in 2019-20 when the 2019 Tim Hortons NHL Heritage Classic returns to the schedule Oct. 26.
Also announced by NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman during the second intermission of the 2019 Bridgestone NHL Winter Classic were dates for the 2020 Winter Classic (Jan. 1), Honda NHL All-Star Weekend (Jan. 24-26) and the NHL Stadium Series (Feb. 15).
The Flames and Jets will play at Mosaic Stadium in Regina, Saskatchewan, in the fifth NHL Heritage Classic and first since 2016, when the Edmonton Oilers defeated the Jets 3-0 at Investors Group Field in Winnipeg on Oct. 23. The Flames defeated the Montreal Canadiens 4-0 in the second Heritage Classic at McMahon Stadium in Calgary on Feb. 20, 2011.
The inaugural Heritage Classic, and the first NHL regular-season game to be played outdoors, was at Commonwealth Stadium in Edmonton on Nov. 22, 2003, when the Canadiens defeated the Oilers 4-3.
The Dallas Stars will appear in their first outdoor game when Cotton Bowl Stadium in Dallas hosts the 2020 Winter Classic, continuing a tradition established in 2008 when the Pittsburgh Penguins defeated the Buffalo Sabres 2-1 in a shootout at Ralph Wilson Stadium. The Stars' opponent will be announced at a later date.
St. Louis will host its third NHL All-Star game (1970, 1988 at St. Louis Arena) and first at Enterprise Arena, home of the St. Louis Blues. NHL All-Star Weekend will include the All-Star Skills competition along with hockey-themed events, entertainment and activities.
The Colorado Avalanche will host their second Stadium Series, this time at the United States Air Force Academy's Falcon Stadium in Colorado Springs, Colorado. The Avalanche lost 5-3 to the Detroit Red Wings at Coors Field in Denver on Feb. 27, 2016. It's also the second time the NHL has brought a regular-season outdoor game to a U.S. service academy. The Washington Capitals defeated the Toronto Maple Leafs 5-2 at Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium at the U.S. Naval Academy in Annapolis, Maryland, on March 3, 2018.
Colorado's opponent at the 2020 Stadium Series will be announced on a future date.
