The Minnesota Wild will take part in the next edition of the Winter Classic at Target Field, the home of MLB's Twins, the NHL announced on Wednesday.
It will be the Wild's first New Year's Day outdoor game and the second regular-season outdoor contest in team history.
The Wild's opponent will be revealed at a later date, according to the club. The Chicago Blackhawks, Colorado Avalanche, St. Louis Blues, and Winnipeg Jets have been discussed as potential opponents, reports Sportsnet's Chris Johnston.
Minnesota defeated the Blackhawks 6-1 at TCF Bank Stadium in Minneapolis back in 2016.
