2014 Stadium Series

The 2014 NHL Stadium Series (branded the 2014 Coors Light NHL Stadium Series) were a series of four outdoor regular season National Hockey League games. This series is distinct from the NHL Winter Classic and NHL Heritage Classic outdoor games. The Stadium Series games consist of: the Los Angeles Kings versus the Anaheim Ducks at Dodger Stadium on January 25, 2014; the New Jersey Devils versus the New York Rangers at Yankee Stadium on January 26; the New York Islanders versus the Rangers at Yankee Stadium on January 29; and the Pittsburgh Penguins versus the Chicago Blackhawks at Soldier Field on March 1, 2014.
The Stadium Series is in between two other outdoor games; the Detroit Red Wings hosting the Toronto Maple Leafs in the 2014 NHL Winter Classic at Michigan Stadium in Ann Arbor, Michigan on January 1, 2014, and the Vancouver Canucks hosting the Ottawa Senators in the 2014 Heritage Classic at BC Place on March 2. The New York Rangers, after the conclusion of their two Stadium Series games, will have played four outdoor games, the most of any NHL team, having previously participated in the 2012 NHL Winter Classic and the 1991 outdoor NHL game in Las Vegas.
== Dodger Stadium (January 25) ==
The first game of the series at Dodger Stadium featured performances by Kiss and Five For Fighting before the game and between the periods, and the opening ceremonies included Vin Scully and Wayne Gretzky.http://www.nhl.com/gamecenter/en/recap?id=2013020782
The Anaheim Ducks shut out the Los Angeles Kings in the inaugural Stadium Series game, with Jonas Hiller making 36 saves.

==Yankee Stadium games==
The second and third Stadium Series games were played at Yankee Stadium, when the Rangers face the Devils and the Islanders on January 26 and 29, 2014, respectively. The Rangers would be the designated visiting team in both games, as they cannot receive income from venues outside of their home arena as the home team.
=== January 26===
The second game of the 2014 NHL Stadium Series took place on January 26, 2014, and was part one of a doubleheader at Yankee Stadium in New York City, featuring the New Jersey Devils and the New York Rangers. This was the NHL's first outdoor game in New York City. The Devils were the designated home team for this game.

== Uniforms ==
Each team wore specially-designed uniforms for the event, except for the Devils, who wore throwback uniforms in the team's original red and green color scheme. The Islanders unveiled their Stadium Series jersey on November 27, 2013. The Ducks and Kings jointly unveiled their Stadium Series jerseys on December 3. The Penguins unveiled their Stadium Series jersey on December 13. The Blackhawks and Rangers unveiled their Stadium Series jerseys on December 20.http://blueshirtsunited.com/videos/4636/stadium-series-jersey-unveiled Penguins goalie Marc-André Fleury wore a Pittsburgh Steelers inspired goalie mask for the Penguins-Blackhawks game.http://www.steelers.com/news/article-1/Pens-goalie-shows-the-Steelers-some-love/d1b4f055-8e8f-458d-a24b-836f314e44a1
== Reality television series ==
The Stadium Series is the basis for a new seven-part documentary called NHL Revealed: A Season Like No Other, premiering January 22, 2014, on the NBC Sports Network, and debuting in Canada the next day on CBC. The series is meant to differ from the pre-existing HBO 24/7: Road to the NHL Winter Classic with an added focus on star players' preparations for the 2014 Olympic Tournament in Sochi, Russia, of which NBCSN and CBC were major broadcasters.
== Television ratings ==
*Game 1 produced a 0.35 national rating and 622,000 viewers on the NBC Sports Network. While unimpressive, the numbers were considerably higher than average for NBCSN's ratings-challenged West Coast games. In Los Angeles, the game drew a 2.38 local rating, making NBCSN the highest rated cable channel (and second-highest rated overall) in the area during the broadcast. It was the network's best performance for an NHL regular season game in the market.
*Game 2 produced a 1.3 national rating and 2.091 million viewers for NBC, good enough to beat all non-regionalized indoor regular season broadcasts since the NHL's return to NBC in 2005, but not quite coming close to the viewership attracted by Winter Classic-branded outdoor games. The game drew a 5.1 local rating in New York, tying Game 1 of the 2012 Stanley Cup Final as the best performance in the market for the current incarnation of the NHL on NBC. The mark stood until the Rangers' strong Stanley Cup playoff run a few months later.
*Game 3 produced a 0.41 national rating and 682,000 viewers on NBCSN, rather ordinary numbers for the Wednesday Night Rivalry franchise. In New York, it drew a 3.58 local rating, the best performance in the market for an NHL regular season game on NBCSN.
*Game 4, played in prime time on NBC, produced a 2.1 national rating, the highest rating for a regular season game outside the Winter Classic since NBC took over the broadcast contract.Pergament, Alan (March 2, 2014).
