The Bruins have begun their season outside of North America twice in the last decade, and both times the season ended in a trip to the Stanley Cup Finals. They’ll be hoping for more of the same next year.
The National Hockey League announced Friday that the Bruins will open the 2020-21 season against the Nashville Predators at O2 Arena in Prague, Czech Republic, to headline the 2020 NHL Global Series.
The Bruins and Predators will complete their training camps in Europe, and each will play in an exhibition match against a European team. The Bruins will report to Mannheim, Germany, and play Adler Mannheim at SAP Arena, while the Predators will report to Bern, Switzerland, and play SC Bern at PostFinance Arena.
