NHL Season Opens This Weekend in Europe
Coming off
encouraging ratings for last spring's Stanley Cup Finals, the NHL is hoping to continue that momentum as the new season opens this weekend. For the second year in a row the league gets things started in Europe. The Tampa Bay Lightning
play a pair against the New York Rangers in Prague, while the Ottawa Senators take on the Pittsburgh Penguins
twice in Stockholm. Games are Saturday (airing in local markets) and Sunday (noon and 2:30 pm/ET, Versus).
