As per Shannon, the matchups could be as follows: Detroit Red Wings vs. Toronto Maple Leafs; Chicago Blackhawks vs. St. Louis Blues; Philadelphia Flyers vs. Pittsburgh Penguins.
The lineup will be in celebration of the league’s 100th anniversary and to mark the 50th anniversary of its first expansion.
These games are, of course, in addition to the 2016 Tim Hortons NHL Heritage Classic between the Winnipeg Jets and Edmonton Oilers, which is scheduled for Oct. 23.
