Buffalo appears set to return to the NHL's outdoor stage, this time in a brand-new home.

League commissioner Gary Bettman was in town Monday to unveil Buffalo as the host of the 2026 NHL Draft and made it clear that the Bills' new Highmark Stadium will host a future outdoor game.

'I have to go for a tour, which I will do,' Bettman said of the Orchard Park venue.
