Next year's Flyers vs. Penguins outdoor game has a new date. Originally scheduled for Saturday, February 18, the game will now take place on Saturday, February 25 -- a move that the NHL says will allow the game to be played in primetime.
The start time for the game will be 8 p.m. ET at Pittsburgh's Heinz Field, and it will be shown nationally in the United States on NBC. In Canada, the game will be shown on Sportsnet.
In 2011, the Penguins and Capitals played the Winter Classic at the same stadium.
