The Flyers and Penguins are likely to play one another in two outdoor games over the next two seasons, according to a report. And it's looking like those won't be the Winter Classic.
On Friday night, news broke that the Flyers and Penguins could potentially play two different outdoor games against one another: one in Philly and one in Pittsburgh, with the latter coming first in 2017.
That news, reported originally by ESPN, was the ultimate result of negotiation between the two teams, the NHL and Penn State University for an outdoor game to be played at Beaver Stadium in State College.
