❄️ The 2025 Winter Classic will be played at Wrigley Field against Blues

The location and match-up of the 2025 Winter Classic was revealed Wednesday. The NHL announced the St. Louis Blues will play against the Chicago Blackhawks at Wrigley Field on New Years day 2025. This will be the second time Wrigley has held the event, with the last being in 2009.

The Blackhawks have played in 4 prior Winter Classic events and the Blues have played in 2 prior. The Blackhawks last Winter Classic was in 2019 against the Bruins. The Blues last played in one in 2022 against the Wild. The two teams previously played each other in the 2017 Winter Classic at Busch Field in St. Louis, MO where the Blues won 1-4.

🛢️Oilers fall one game short of NHL win streak record

Had the Edmonton Oilers won their game against Vegas yesterday (Feb 6), they would have tied the NHL record of a 16 game winning streak. The record was set in 1992 by the Pittsburgh Penguins who won 17 games in a row. Until last night the Oilers had not lost a game since December 19th.

✈️ Winnipeg’s Dillon suspended 3 games for illegal check to the head

Winnipeg Jets defenseman Brenden Dillon was suspended for 3 games for an illegal check to the head against Penguins forward Noel Acciari. The illegal check took place Tuesday night in Philadelphia and the suspension was handed down from the Department of Player Safety Wednesday afternoon after a hearing. Dillon received a match penalty for his hit. As factors in the suspension they considered he has had no relevant discipline history as he was only suspended once in his 863 NHL career and the fact that there was an injury on the play.
