MetLife Stadium will host NHL games on back to back days as part of next year’s Stadium Series, the league announced Saturday. The Devils will play the Flyers on Feb. 17, and the Rangers and Islanders will face off on Feb. 18 in East Rutherford, N.J.
“We had always wanted to go back to play a game a MetLife Stadium. It’s always been an interest of ours,” NHL executive Steve Mayer said in a statement. “MetLife is an extremely difficult place to think about doing a Winter Classic because of the two NFL teams that are in that building, the Jets and the Giants. So we also had been talking to them on and off and been interested for a long time.”
