The 2016 NHL Stadium Series (branded as the 2016 Coors Light NHL Stadium Series for sponsorship reasons) was a series of two outdoor regular season National Hockey League (NHL) games scheduled to be played during the 2015–16 NHL season. The 2016 Stadium Series consisted of: the Minnesota Wild versus the Chicago Blackhawks at TCF Bank Stadium in Minneapolis on February 21, 2016, and the Colorado Avalanche versus the Detroit Red Wings at Coors Field in Denver on February 27, 2016.[1]
NBC aired both games in the United States, with the first game at TCF Bank Stadium being part of its Hockey Day in America coverage.[2] The second game at Coors Field aired on NBC in primetime,[2] the fourth regular season game (and the third outdoor game) to air on NBC's broadcast network in primetime (after the 2011 NHL Winter Classic, the 2014 NHL Stadium Series Game in Chicago,[3] and a game on February 28, 2015 between the New York Rangers and the Philadelphia Flyers[4]) since NBC won the broadcast contract for the NHL in 2004. In Canada, the game at TCF Bank Stadium was the first game of a tripleheader on Sportsnet (simulcast from the NBC feed), while the game at Coors Field aired as part of the Hockey Night in Canada coverage on Sportsnet.[5]
