Oilers Bring NHL to Draisaitl's Germany | Edmonton Oilers News
Description
The NHL is bringing the regular season to Germany for the first time since 2011, with the Edmonton Oilers heading to Cologne — Leon Draisaitl’s hometown — for two official games in 2027-28. This marks a major expansion of the league’s global footprint, following a 2018 exhibition and a historic 1990 tournament appearance. The Boston Bruins will also play in Munich, home of J.J. Peterka, while Düsseldorf hosts Senators vs. Blackhawks in December 2026. It’s not just about hockey — it’s about connecting players to their roots and growing the game worldwide.
