For the first time in NHL history, an outdoor hockey game is being played in the Carolinas.
The Hurricanes are hosting the Capitals tonight in the 2023 Stadium Series. The event is the second outdoor game of 2023, following the Winter Classic held in Boston.
North Carolina State's Carter-Finley Stadium is the home of this year's marquee contest. This marks the first time that the Hurricanes are playing in an outdoor game, while it is the second Stadium Series event for the Capitals and fourth overall outdoor game.
The Hurricanes were supposed to host the Stadium Series in 2021, however, it was not scheduled that season due to COVID-19 and instead pushed to 2023.
