The New York Rangers¡¯ perfect record in outdoor games will be on the line Friday when they face the Florida Panthers in the 2026 Winter Classic at Miami¡¯s LoanDepot Park.
The franchise is 5-0 outdoors, the most wins without a loss of any NHL team. Previously, the Rangers beat the Philadelphia Flyers at Citizens Bank Park in the 2012 Winter Classic; the New Jersey Devils and New York Islanders in the 2014 Stadium Series at Yankee Stadium; the visiting Buffalo Sabres in the 2018 Winter Classic at ?Citi Field; and the Islanders again in the 2024 Stadium Series at MetLife Stadium.
Friday¡¯s game is different, as ?it will ?be the first outdoor game ever in the state of Florida. The game is set ?for an 8 p.m. start so that Miami¡¯s famed sunshine won¡¯t melt the carefully constructed ice.
