per FSN:
Minnesota is finally getting its outdoor NHL game.
The NHL announced Saturday at the league's all-star game in Columbus that the Minnesota Wild will host the Chicago Blackhawks in a Stadium Series game at TCF Bank Stadium on the campus of the University of Minnesota next season.
Minnesota had long sought an outdoor game with the influx of such games each NHL season with the Winter Classic held on New Year's Day and two Stadium Series games. NHL commissioner Gary Bettman had said plans were being made for Minnesota to be included but the game didn't become a reality until Saturday.
The Wild will play at TCF Bank Stadium on Feb. 21, 2016. The Colorado Avalanche will host the Detroit Red Wings the following weekend at Coors Field in Denver for the second Stadium Series game. Boston will host the Winter Classic next season, the second time it's been awarded the New Year's Day game.
