Chelios says Wings will be playing at Yankee Stadium next season - Detroit Red Wings Hockey: News, Blogs, Photos, Audio, Schedule & Stats - MLive.com
Wings defenseman Chris Chelios claims the Wings will be playing the Rangers in that rumored outdoor game at Yankee Stadium next season.

“I heard Detroit’s playing,” Chelios said after practice Monday. “Awesome, to be part of the last event at Yankee Stadium would be something special.”

There is no official word from the Wings or the NHL. The league is reportedly considering the Bruins as a possible opponent for the Rangers, if that game were to take place.

The game, if it materializes, could be on Jan. 1. That’s when Pittsburgh played at Buffalo this year in the first outdoor NHL game in the U.S.
