Earlier in the week, the producer of the popular podcast Spittin’ Chiclets Mike Grinnell broke a little news that the “Winter Classic could be headed back to Fenway next season and would feature the Bruins & Penguins.”
During his All-Star game press conference, NHL commissioner Gary Bettman confirmed that first part, but nothing about the Penguins just yet as the NHL has not officially announced the opponent for the Boston Bruins in the 2023 Winter Classic.
Bettman announces the Global Series will return next season in Europe, the Hurricanes will host a Stadium Series game, the Panthers will host the All-Star Game and the Bruins will host the Winter Classic at Fenway Park.
