The 2024 NHL Stadium Series is a two-game affair at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey. On Saturday, the Philadelphia Flyers take on the New Jersey Devils (8 p.m. ET, ABC/ESPN+) followed by the New York Islanders squaring off against the New York Rangers on Sunday (3 p.m. ET, ABC/ESPN+).
All of that is known. But let’s answer some of the big questions everyone is asking ahead of the pair of Metro Division tilts:
Who has the best uniforms? How many of these teams will make the playoffs? Who wins the games? And of course, where should the NHL stage its next Stadium Series games?

Victoria Matiash, NHL analyst: The Flyers. The classic winged P, complete with puck, strikes as a partnership in simplicity, elegance and severity. Pair that striking emblem with a dramatic orange/black combination, offset with white for contrast and this is a set that’s recognizable and respected by hockey fans everywhere, young and old. Aesthetics aside, an assembly that harkens back to a toothless Bobby Clarke, the rest of the Broad Street Bullies, the Legion of Doom and Ron Hextall earning more penalty minutes than any other goalie in league history.
