What is NHL Global Series 2023?

This series serves as a platform for the league to showcase its product to other countries worldwide.

Although the NHL has a longstanding tradition of international games dating back to the early 1990s, the Global Series is a recent addition to its lineup. This year marks the fifth edition.

While the league typically focuses on playing games in Europe, the preseason saw a unique expansion. Two exhibition games unfolded in Melbourne, Australia, marking the NHL's inaugural venture south of the equator.

In addition to Sweden and Australia, it was held in Finland, Switzerland, Germany, and the Czech Republic.
