NHL Sending Four Teams to Play Regular Season Games in Sweden

The NHL is sending the Minnesota Wild, Detroit Red Wings, Toronto Maple Leafs, and Ottawa Senators to Sweden in November to play regular season games.
The Los Angeles Kings and Arizona Coyotes will play exhibition games in Melbourne, Australia in September.
The NHL aims to expand interest in hockey in Scandinavia, Europe and Australia.
The teams were chosen because of their history of Swedish players and to tap into fan bases.
Staging four teams in one arena could provide a model for larger events like the World Cup of Hockey.
