NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman announced Monday that the St. Louis Blues and Minnesota Wild will meet in the 2022 NHL Winter Classic on Jan. 1, 2022 at Target Field – home of the Minnesota Twins.
The teams were originally expected to meet in the outdoor game in 2021, but the event was postponed due to COVID-19 gathering restrictions.

The event continues the tradition the League first established in 2008 of hosting a regular-season outdoor game at the start of the new year. The 2022 NHL Winter Classic will mark the 14th anniversary of the first NHL Winter Classic, which was played in Buffalo.
The game will be the Blues’ second appearance in the NHL Winter Classic. On Jan. 2, 2017, the Blues defeated the Chicago Blackhawks 4-1 at Busch Stadium in St. Louis. The Wild will be playing in their second outdoor game but first NHL Winter Classic.
