The 2015 NHL Stadium Series is an outdoor regular season National Hockey League game scheduled to be played outdoors. The Los Angeles Kings will play against the San Jose Sharks at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California on February 21st, 2015. The game coincides with NBC Sports’ “Hockey Day in America” coverage.
This is the only game in the Stadium Series during the 2014–15 NHL regular season (as opposed to multiple games in 2014 and 2016). The in-state rivalry will move outside for the first professional hockey game ever played outdoors in Northern California.
As of February 18th, the Sharks are two points ahead of the defending champion Kings (66-64) in the Western Conference Pacific division. But the Kings have been playing well as of late, winners of their last five games, with the Kings having scored 19 goals during their winning streak.
The Sharks are trending in the opposite direction, having lost five of their last six games after losing to the Western Conference leading Nashville Predators on February 17th.

On top of the fanfare of the in-state California rivalry and the ‘wow’ factor of it being a Stadium Series game, the Sharks are looking to avenge their embarrassing 2014 postseason exit at the hands of the Kings. The Sharks went up three games to none before the Kings won four straight for the reverse sweep. The Kings were just the fourth team ever to complete this feat.
The anticipation of the puck dropping on Saturday night is building as the we approach February 21st. It should create another great event for the next installment in the Stadium Series.
