Just a few days ago, the Blue Jackets and Red Wings went head-to-head, and let’s just say Columbus came in hungry. James van Riemsdyk put on a show, netting two goals and leading his squad to a dominant 5-2 victory at Little Caesar’s Arena. But Detroit? Oh, they weren’t about to let that slide. The perfect shot at redemption? None other than the grandest winter showdown—the Stadium Series. Because nothing screams hockey magic like an outdoor battle in the dead of winter, and this year, the NHL took the action straight to the heart of college football royalty.
With Ohio Stadium setting the stage, this epic clash between the Blue Jackets and Red Wings had fans on the edge of their frostbitten seats. Now, as the game rolls on, Columbus holds a 3-1 lead, proving they aren’t just here for the vibes. And with all this hype, the NHL commissioner couldn’t help but take notice, dropping some major tea about the future of the Stadium Series.
David Pagnotta, the mastermind behind The Fourth Period, hopped on X mid-game to spill some juicy hockey tea. While fans were locked into the Stadium Series action, he dropped a little behind-the-scenes scoop—none other than NHL commissioner Gary Bettman had joined him on @SiriusXMNHL for a chat. And, oh boy, did we get an update worth talking about.
Pagnotta followed up with the real kicker, letting fans in on what Bettman had to say: “Bettman reiterates the NHL’s working with Utah on getting an outdoor game in the not-to-distant future.” That’s right—Utah hockey fans, your time in the frosty spotlight might just be coming sooner than expected!
