NHL Winter Classic: Boston 2023

The 2023 NHL Winter Classic® will feature the Boston Bruins and Pittsburgh Penguins at Fenway Park, in Boston, Massachusetts on January 2, 2023. The game will mark the fifth NHL regular-season outdoor game for the Bruins and the second time the game has been hosted at Fenway Park, home of MLB's Boston Red Sox. Boston defeated the Philadelphia Flyers 2-1 in OT in the 2010 NHL Winter Classic®. The game continues the tradition the League established in 2008 of hosting a regular-season outdoor game at the onset of the new year, with the 2023 edition marking the 15-year anniversary of the first NHL Winter Classic® in Buffalo.
