The NHL is returning to "Big City Greens," this time using two types of puck and player tracking technology to bring the Pittsburgh Penguins and Boston Bruins into the animated world.

The second "NHL Big City Greens Classic" will air March 9 on ESPN+, Disney Channel, Disney XD and Disney+ when the Penguins visit the Bruins at 3 p.m. ET. The broadcast is a real-time volumetric animation of NHL players and teams modeled after characters on Disney Channel's animated comedy "Big City Greens," whose characters skate alongside animated versions of the NHL players.
