ANAHEIM, Calif. — While the main focus for players is trying to wrap up another big road win tonight, you might excuse some fans for looking a bit ahead at some excitement to come.

The National Hockey League is on the verge of confirming the Winnipeg Jets will take part in their next Global Series, which will involve playing a pair of regular-season games in Finland during the 2018-19 campaign.

The official announcement will likely come on Saturday from commissioner Gary Bettman during his state-of- the-league address during the All-Star festivities in Tampa Bay, according to a source.
