The Bruins opponent for the next Winter Classic been one of the worst kept secrets around, and the news is almost official. The game will be played at Fenway Park, and being as the ownership group of that stadium now also owns the Pittsburgh Penguins, it’s only natural that it will be the Pens playing in Boston for the NHL’s annual showcase event.
Kevin Weekes had more about the impending news:
