  • Adrian Dater via Sulia: Seems likely that the Avalanche will get an outdoor game next year. MillerCoors wants to have a game in Denver.
  • Dallas Morning News: The Dallas Stars would like to hold an outdoor game.

    “We are in the very early stages of talks and planning, and we expect to make some headway during the Olympic break, but it’s still a few years away,” Stars president and CEO Jim Lites said. “Just guessing, I would say 2015-16 at the earliest, and more realistically 2016-17.”

  • Sun-Sentinel: The Panthers made Tomas Fleischmann a healthy scratch last night. Erik Gudbranson has been scratched for three straight games.
