An insider revealed that the NHL will send teams to play in a city they haven't been since 1959.

NHL To Return to France for the First Time Since 1959



According to The Fourth Period's David Pagnotta, the Montreal Canadiens will play games in Paris in October 2025.

Here's what he said:


"Before we wrap up, worth a little mentioning as well. We talked about the Global Series a couple of weeks ago. We should also mention that the Montreal Canadiens are poised to go to Paris, by the looks of things, in 2025. So not this coming year, the following year in October of 2025.

It looks like the Canadiens and the NHL are still working on things to get the Habs over there in Paris in '25 and I believe that Stockholm will be the other host at that point. So we'll see."


The last time the Montreal Canadiens played in France, it was in 1939. They completed a nine-game tour against the Detroit Red Wings. They returned overseas in 1992, when they played two games in London against the Blackhawks.

Earlier in the season, the Red Wings, Senators, Maple Leafs and Wild flew to Stockholm to take part in the NHL's Global Series.

Do you think the NHL should organize more games in other countries?
