NEW YORK -- The NHL has limited its outdoor games to one or two a year since it first began playing them 10 years ago. In January, thats set to change. There will be four games that month, and two more in March. To the rest of North America, the events could begin to seem ordinary. But the league is confident theyll remain a strong draw to the people who matter most. "For fans that want to attend, we cant do enough of them," NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman said Thursday, standing on the spot at Yankee Stadium where the Rangers will play twice in January. The week before the Super Bowl is played in New Jersey, the Rangers will take on both of their metropolitan rivals. On Sunday, Jan. 26 theyll play an afternoon game against the New Jersey Devils. Then on Jan. 29, its a night game against the Islanders. In the new Yankee Stadiums short history, the ballpark has already hosted championship boxing, college football, and elite European soccer teams. But neither the Yankee Stadium built in 2009 nor its more storied predecessor across the street ever hosted a hockey game. The house that George Steinbrenner built should be electric. "This is one of the rare events that lives up to the hype," Rangers assistant general manager Jeff Gorton said. Other outdoor games scheduled for January are a New Years Day tilt between Detroit and Toronto at Michigan Stadium, which can hold well over 100,000 fans for football, and a game at Dodger Stadium featuring the Kings and the Ducks. In March, Chicago will host Pittsburgh at Soldier Field and Vancouver will host Ottawa at B.C. Place. The NHL expects to sell every ticket. Even if it expects to hear that its diluting the spectacle by making it more commonplace. "What happens is, fans get connected to the game in ways they never imagined," Bettman said. "Fans love attending this game. We dont feel were doing too many of them." The ballpark seats about 54,000 for football, and though the rink will be oriented on the field differently, most of the seats should remain usable for hockey. The Yankees outlined where they expected the rink to go on the field Thursday, describing an ice surface that would go diagonally across the infield from first base to third, behind the mound. Other than skating on top of where Derek Jeter -- when hes healthy -- dives for ground balls, and doing it in front of 50,000 screaming fans in the Bronx, itll be just like the pond hockey that players grew up playing. "Where you had the most fun was outside," Rangers captain Ryan Callahan said. Fake Dodgers Jerseys .

CALGARY, Alberta -- Sean Monahan and Johnny Gaudreau both signed monster contracts in the offseason with the expectation they would lead the Calgary Flames to a prosperous future.The linemates got off to a slow start and right away tongues started to wag in Calgary after three losses.But what happened to end the fourth game brought hope to Flames fans and those holding the purse strings that things are turning for the better. Gaudreau set up Monahan with the winning goal in a 4-3 overtime win over the Buffalo Sabres on Tuesday.It was Monahans second goal of the season to go with no assists. Gaudreau, who finished in the top 10 in league scoring in 2015-16, has yet to score but has two assists. Hardly a blazing start for two players who will make in excess of $6 million each this winter.Hopefully, its the beginning of them getting their game going again, first-year head coach Glen Gulutzan said.I know both young guys have been putting pressure on themselves and I can see it. It just takes one of those things to turn it when youre the quality of player of both of those gentlemen. We underestimate confidence and that gives you a little confidence.The Flames host the Carolina Hurricanes on Thursday night in what almost became a battle of winless teams. The Hurricanes started the season 0-1-2 and arrive in Calgary after dropping a second straight overtime decision on their four-game western Canada swing on Tuesday with a 3-2 loss to the Edmonton Oilers.The big story in Calgary during the summer was the restricted free agency of both Monahan and Gaudreau, who completed entry-level contracts.Gaudreau and the Flames struggled to come to terms and the Salem, N.J., native didnt sign until a day before the regular season began. He got a six-year deal for $40.5 million. Monahan agreed to a seven-year, $44.625 million contract in August.The question to be answered now: Was Monahans game-winner the ice-breaker for the Flames two stars?I think so, Monahan said.dddddddddddd. When you win it brings confidence. As a group, its home ice and the way that we battled back and found a way to win is big for our team.It brought Gulutzan, who was hired to replace fired Bob Hartley in June, his first NHL win as a head coach. But he cared more about his stars getting going than his accomplishment.Everybody needed that goal and when I say everybody, probably the fans, the coaches and Mony himself, Gulutzan said.I was more excited for the guys. You get to be around your team for a month here and weve got a great group and theyre trying. Theyre really putting it out there. Theyre squeezing a little bit. To get that off them, I think, will move us forward. So we needed it and they needed it.Carolina comes into Thursday feeling no such optimism after falling behind 3-0 on Tuesday in Edmonton and losing 3-2 for their third straight one-goal loss.You dont want top start a losing streak and youve got to put an end to it, Hurricanes coach Bill Peters told the Raleigh News & Observer. Youve got to put the brakes on that and thats what we have to do Thursday in Calgary.One positive for Carolina has been the play of well-traveled veteran right winger Lee Stempniak, who leads the Hurricanes in the early going with five points. He scored twice within 56 seconds in the third period to make it a one-goal game in Edmonton, but the rally ended there.The Hurricanes signed the 33-year-old in the offseason for two years, making Carolina the 10th stop in his 12-year career.Lee Stempniaks an underrated guy, Peters said. Hes got a heavy stick, hes strong on the puck. Hes a very intelligent player. ' ' '
