Bruins to host another Winter Classic, Panthers get next All-Star Game

The Boston Bruins will host the 2023 Winter Classic at Fenway Park, the NHL announced Friday.

The league also revealed that the Florida Panthers will host next year's All-Star festivities at FLA Live Arena in Sunrise.

Additionally, the Carolina Hurricanes' previously planned Stadium Series game at NC State's Carter-Finley Stadium in Raleigh is now scheduled for next year. That event was originally tabbed for 2021 before being postponed due to COVID-19.

If and when the Hurricanes are ultimately able to host the Stadium Series tilt, it would be Carolina's first outdoor affair.

Lastly, the NHL's Global Series will make its return in 2022-23 with games in Czechia, Finland, Germany, and Switzerland. Preseason contests will be held in Germany and Switzerland, while regular-season matchups will be slated for Czechia and Finland.

The remaining teams, dates, and unknown cities for these events will be revealed at a later time. The Winter Classic has taken place on New Year's Day on 13 of 15 occasions.

This will be the Bruins' fifth regular-season outdoor game and the second Winter Classic at Fenway.

The Panthers will host All-Star Weekend for the first time since 2003 when they did so in the same building, which was then known as the Office Depot Center. The club was awarded the 2021 All-Star Game, but that was postponed due to the pandemic. The Vegas Golden Knights got the 2022 event.
