10 stunning photos from the NHL Outdoors at Lake Tahoe weekend

The NHL has been hosting outdoor hockey games for years with the Winter Classic, but the 2021 game was canceled back in October because of limitations related to the COVID-19 pandemic.

However, the league still set up two outdoor games being played this weekend, called the NHL Outdoors at Lake Tahoe, but they’re not actually playing on the lake, which sits on the border of California and Nevada. Instead, they’re playing on a rink on the 18th fairway of the Edgewood Tahoe Resort golf course without fans in attendance — though some are on the lake.

The Vegas Golden Knights and Colorado Avalanche play Saturday afternoon, while the Boston Bruins and Philadelphia Flyers will face off Sunday.
