Rangers to face Panthers in 2026 Winter Classic in Florida
NY Post
The Rangers’ 2025-26 schedule will include another outdoor game, with the Blueshirts set to face the Panthers at the Marlins’ loanDepot park on Jan. 2, the team announced.
It’ll mark their sixth appearance in an outdoor game, with the most recent one occurring last year when the Rangers faced the Islanders at MetLife Stadium in the NHL’s Stadium Series and escaped with a thrilling overtime win. The Blueshirts are 5-0 in their history of outdoor games.
This one, though, will be different, with Florida hosting the two southernmost outdoor games in league history, according to the Panthers.
The Lighting will host the Bruins on Feb. 1 in another outdoor game next season.
It won’t be the NHL’s first attempt at hosting an outdoor game in warmer weather, as Dodger Stadium hosted an outdoor game in 2014 that, at the time, set the record for warmest temperature for a regular-season outdoor game at 62 degrees.
The Avalanche’s game against the Red Wings two years later, though, started in 65 degrees to break that mark.
