The hype continues to grow for one of the National Hockey League\u2019s marquee events.<\/p>\n
On Tuesday, the league revealed the logo for the 2026 Stadium Series, which will pit the Tampa Bay Lightning<\/a> against the Boston Bruins<\/a>. <\/p>\n The game is set to take place on Feb. 1 at Raymond James Stadium, the traditional home of the NFL\u2019s Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Among the details in the logo, a pirate ship is noticeable, paying homage to the actual boat that sits behind one of the endzones at the venue, which fires off cannons whenever the Bucs score. <\/p>\n It will be the second outdoor game to take place in the state of Florida<\/a>. The first will take place on Jan. 2, as the Florida Panthers <\/a>will be hosting the New York Rangers<\/a> at loanDepot Park, home of the MLB\u2019s Miami Marlins, in the 2026 Winter Classic.<\/p>\n For the Lightning, the Stadium Series will mark the second time they will appear in the particular event. Tampa faced off with the Nashville Predators<\/a> at Nissan Stadium in the Music City in 2022, with the Bolts coming away with a 3-2 win. Both the Bruins and Rangers will tie the\u00a0Pittsburgh Penguins<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Philadelphia Flyers<\/a> for the second-most outdoor games in NHL history, as the Original Six franchises will each be playing in their sixth games without a roof over their heads. <\/p>\n However, this will be the first time Boston will be playing in a Stadium Series contest. The Bruins have played in the 2010, 2016, 2019 and 2023 Winter Classics, along with one of the NHL\u2019s games in Lake Tahoe in 2021. Boston is 4-1 in outdoor games, with the team\u2019s lone loss coming in 2016 against the rival Montreal Canadiens in Foxborough.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The hype continues to grow for one of the National Hockey League\u2019s marquee events.
