The Devils told the NHL “no” when asked about an outdoor game.
The NHL is still deep in negotiations with the NHL Player’s Association to try and get the league back off the ground. Things are still very contentious, and there hasn’t been a lot of positive news coming out. It’s iffy when we’ll see New Jersey Devils back again. However, one thing being floated in those negotiations right now is the possibility of an outdoor game.
Obviously, with the status of the pandemic, certain municipalities would be more willing to allow larger crowds if the venue was outdoors.
