The Penguins and Nashville Predators will play a pair of regular-season games next season as part of the Global Series in Stockholm, Sweden. It will be the Penguins first trip to Europe in 17 years. The games will be played November 14th and 16th. The NHL made plans for the series after the success of their recent 4 Nations tournament. The Penguins and Predators were selected because of their top stars in Sidney Crosby and Steven Stamkos.
