Today, the NHL announced that the Nashville Predators and Dallas Stars will face off in the 2020 Winter Classic.
The puck will drop at the Cotton Bowl in Dallas on New Year’s Day. The Stars will be the home squad, but Predators fans everywhere are thrilled that their team has finally scored an outdoor game.
There will be an Outdoor Classic jersey released for both teams around November of this year. Dallas is a Central Division opponent. Both teams are located in non-traditional, yet highly successful markets. The Stars have an all-star team featuring Jamie Benn, Tyler Seguin, Ben Bishop, Alexander Radulov, and youngster Miro Heiskanen.
