2025 NHL Stadium Series Betting Online

On January 1, 2008, National Hockey League history was made when the Pittsburgh Penguins met the Buffalo Sabres at the home venue of the NFL Buffalo Bills in front of a sellout crowd. Sidney Crosby won the game for Pittsburgh in a shootout 2-1 with the game-winning goal as the snow fell to cap a perfect day and create a monster. The NHL Stadium Series concept was born that day.

NHL Stadium Series Betting Lines

The NHL Stadium Series has become an annual iconic venue that has been played at some of the greatest football and baseball venues in the country.

Last year, at MetLife Stadium, home of the NFL New York Jets and Giants, the New York Rangers defeated the New York Islanders 6-5 in overtime, and the New Jersey Devils beat the Philadelphia Flyers 6-3.

The New York Rangers extended their winning streak to a then-season-high seven games with a 6-5 come-from-behind win in overtime against the New York Islanders in the 2024 Navy Federal Credit Union NHL Stadium Series in front of 79,690 at MetLife Stadium.

The Rangers, who trailed 4-1 in the second period, scored twice in the final 4:08 to tie the game before Artemi Panarin's goal 10 seconds into overtime won it.

After Panarin knocked down Noah Dobson's pass, his shot was then blocked by the sliding defenseman, but the puck hit off a prone Ilya Sorokin and trickled across the goal line, which had come off its mooring. The goal was confirmed following a video review initiated by the NHL Situation Room in Toronto.

"Honestly, I don't remember that goal very well at this point just because I got flooded with a wave of emotions, excitement," Panarin said. "... The atmosphere was just exactly what we needed to secure that win."

Panarin’s goal came after Mika Zibanejad tied it 5-5 at 18:31 of the third period with a power-play goal. Chris Kreider had previously cut it to 5-4 at 15:52 with a redirection on the power play. Each came with Igor Shesterkin pulled for the extra skater.

"This is a game we've been looking forward to," Zibanejad said. "The atmosphere was incredible and to win in the way we did was incredible. ... This is definitely on top of my list of experiences as games and memories I will take with me forever."

Vincent Trocheck scored twice and had an assist, Panarin had a goal and two assists, and Shesterkin made 36 saves for the Rangers, who remained undefeated in outdoor games (5-0-0). Alexis Lafreniere and Adam Fox each had two assists.

"The first period, I thought we came in, we were a little sluggish and down on ourselves for the way we played," Trocheck said. "And then at 4-1 in that second period, I thought we were playing well. So, I don't think anybody had any ill feelings toward just the way that we're playing, and it was just a matter of us sticking with it. Showing some urgency, and I think we did that."
