These are the third and fourth games to be confirmed as part of the Stadium Series. In addition, the Chicago Blackhawks will host the Pittsburgh Penguins at Soldier Field, and the Los Angeles Kings will host the Anaheim Ducks at Dodger Stadium. According to previous reports, it is expected that a fifth game will be announced sometime in the future.
The Stadium Series will act as a way for the league to host multiple outdoor events in addition to the Winter Classic. The 2014 Winter Classic will be hosted at the University of Michigan's football stadium and will feature the Detroit Red Wings against the Toronto Maple Leafs.
