Blue Jackets hosting Red Wings in 2025 Stadium Series

The Columbus Blue Jackets will host the Detroit Red Wings for a Stadium Series clash on March 1, 2025, the NHL announced Saturday night.

The game will take place at Ohio Stadium, home of the Ohio State football program. It has a seating capacity of over 100,000.

Columbus is one of three franchises, along with the Arizona Coyotes and Florida Panthers, that the league has never showcased in an outdoor game.

The Red Wings participated in the Winter Classic in 2009 and 2014, the Stadium Series in 2016, and the Centennial Classic in 2017.

Detroit and Columbus used to compete against each other in the Central Division before the NHL assigned them to separate divisions prior to the 2013-14 campaign.
