The Flyers hosting the Penguins for an outdoor game was always part of the deal when Pittsburgh was awarded an outdoor game last February against the Flyers and the league made it official Monday announcing the Flyers and Penguins will take part in another outdoor game at Lincoln Financial Field (Home of the Philadelphia Eagles) on February 23, 2019.
A classic rivalry continues.

“It’s always a special opportunity to take the game back to its roots and have NHL players skate outdoors,” Penguins president and CEO David Morehouse said in a team release. “We competed against the Flyers outdoors at Heinz Field in Pittsburgh 2017 and look forward to completing the in-state ‘home-and-home’ series at Lincoln Financial Field in 2019. It should be a great atmosphere.”
