There may be a chance that in March, 2014, the Pens and Blackhawks will play at Soldier Field.
Apparently, after the canceled 2013 Winter Classic game, the NHL plans to pay back the fans with these outdoor games.
The Pens and Blackhawk game will be one of six outdoor games scheduled for 2014.
Above is the expected dates of next years games. This was tweeted from Radio producer Lawrence Dushenski.
Pittsburgh has previously played in two outdoor games, winning the 2008 Winter Classic against the Buffalo Sabres and losing the 2011 Winter Classic to the Washington Capitals.
It isn't official yet as to what exactly will happen, but it is very exciting to see that there will be several games played outdoors, just like the Winter Classic. Anybody that has gone to a Winter Classic game can agree that it is another level of fun at a hockey game.
The Pens and Blackhawks are two of the best and biggest teams in this shortened 2013 season. One can only guess at how both of these teams will do next year in the regular season.
