Golden Knights vs. Stars in 2027 NHL Stadium Series: What You Need to Know
Mark Your calendars!
The NHL has announced the 2027 Navy Federal Credit Union NHL Stadium Series, and it’s going to be a thriller! The Vegas Golden Knights will face off against the Dallas Stars at the iconic AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, on February 20. The puck drops at 8 p.m. ET, and you can catch all the action on ABC.
A Family Affair
For Vegas captain Mark Stone, these outdoor games are more than just hockey. “They’re always fun to be a part of,” he said. “You get to bring your families to them. The families really enjoy it, especially when you’re on the road and at the same hotel together.”
First Time for the Knights in Texas
This marks Vegas’ third outdoor game, but their first in the Lone Star State. They’ve had some success in the past, with a win against the Colorado Avalanche at Lake Tahoe in 2021, despite playing in front of an empty stadium due to COVID-19 restrictions. However, they fell short in the 2024 NHL Winter Classic against the Seattle Kraken at T-Mobile Park.
Coach Cassidy’s Take
Golden Knights coach Bruce Cassidy is no stranger to these events and is looking forward to it. “I’ve always enjoyed them,” he said. “I didn’t like the outcome in Seattle a few years ago, but I’m a curious guy, so I’m looking forward to it…I’m glad they included us.”
Stars’ Homecoming
For the Stars, this will be their second outdoor game after they hosted the Nashville Predators in the 2020 Winter Classic at Cotton Bowl Stadium. That game drew a whopping 85,630 fans, the third-largest crowd in NHL history. Talk about a homecoming!
Rivalry Renewed
This matchup could spark the intense rivalry between these two clubs back to life. Since Vegas’ inception in 2017, the teams have met in the Stanley Cup Playoffs three times, including twice in the Stanley Cup Final.
