2017 NHL Global Series

On March 24, 2017, the NHL announced the return of regular season games played outside North America in a new event called the NHL Global Series. The Colorado Avalanche and Ottawa Senators are set to play two regular season games in Sweden on November 10 and 11. Unlike the previous regular-season series played in Europe by the NHL, these games will not open the season for these teams but will come after a full month of activity.
