Red Wings to play two games in Sweden next season

Detroit — The Red Wings are going to play two games in Europe next season.

The NHL announced Wednesday it's sending four teams to Stockholm, Sweden — the Red Wings, Minnesota Wild, Toronto Maple Leafs and Ottawa Senators — to stage the Global Series games November 16-19.

The Wings will play Ottawa on November 16, and face Toronto the next evening.

This will be the second time the Wings have gone to Sweden. In 2009, the Wings and St. Louis Blues split two games in Stockholm.

To date, there have been 38 NHL regular-season games played outside of North America, including 32 played in Europe.
