The NHL will play two preseason games in China in mid-September, the league announced Saturday. The details have yet to be finalized, Commissioner Gary Bettman said at a press conference ahead of Saturday's skills competition, per TSN's Pierre LeBrun.
The Los Angeles Kings and Vancouver Canucks played two preseason games in China in September of 2017 - one in Shanghai and one in Beijing. Not everyone considered it an overwhelming success.
Beijing will host the 2022 Winter Olympics.
