“The adidas-designed jerseys for each of the four teams playing, feature bold designs, oversized numbers, and letters that convey a futuristic vision of hockey played outdoors,” the NHL said in a press statement.
They also each have the word “STADIUM SERIES” on the inside back neck.”
The New Jersey Devils will face the Philadelphia Flyers on Feb. 17 at 8 p.m. EST and the New York Rangers will play the New York Islanders on Feb. 18 at 3 p.m. EST. Both games will be held at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, N.J., the home of both the NFL’s New York Giants and New York Jets.
The Devils, who have played in one prior outdoor game (2014 at Yankee Stadium), will wear a dark, red sweater with black stripes and a black Devils logo on the chest.
The Flyers, who will be playing in their sixth outdoor game, will wear white sweaters with burnt orange on the sleeves. The name plates will stretch all the way around the sweater, creating sleeve stripes, with the Flyers logo on the front.
The Islanders, who have only played in one outdoor game (2014 at Yankee Stadium), are wearing blue jerseys with a large orange stripe with the world “ISLES” in it, in one of the largest chest stripes adidas has ever made for the NHL.
The Rangers, who are 5-0-0 in their prior outdoor games, will wear white jerseys with blue, white and red stripes, similar to their current road jerseys. The initials “NYR” are diagonal on the front of the Rangers’ famous drop shadow font.
Fans can purchase the new jerseys at NHLShop.com and team stores starting Feb. 5.

Over a month into free agency, forward Jack Roslovic remains unsigned, but interest in the two-time 20-goal scorer hasn’t exactly dried up. According to Sportsnet’s Elliotte Friedman, Roslovic has “five or six” teams still interested in potentially signing him. Among them is the Toronto Maple Leafs. Roslovic, 28, just completed a 22-goal season with the Carolina Hurricanes. That matched his career high from the 2021-22 campaign. His game isn’t perfect, and he’s struggled with inconsistencies, but he remains the biggest name still available on the open market. In 526 career NHL games, he’s posted 260 points with the Jets, Blue Jackets, Rangers, and Hurricanes. So what is the hold-up, and why hasn’t one of these teams signed him to a deal? Roslovic Doesn’t Want to “Be a Bargain” Signing Friedman noted on the 32 Thoughts podcast that Roslovic may be holding out for a deal that doesn’t feel like a bargain for teams. Before free agency opened, he was projected to land a three-year deal worth around $3.5 million annually. That number is likely out of reach now, but he’s still expected to find a fit soon. Toronto is one of the interested clubs, but cap constraints are an issue. With just under $2 million in cap space, the Leafs would need to move out a contract—possibly David Kämpf ($2.4M) or Calle Järnkrok ($2.1M)—to make room. They’ve been unable to find a taker on a trade so far. Kämpf was a healthy scratch during the playoffs, while Järnkrok returned from injury late in the year and played a depth role. Even with recent additions like Nicolas Roy and Matias Maccelli, Toronto could still see Roslovic as a useful third-line scoring option. It’s not that the Leafs don’t want to sign the player, but with Roslovic uneasy about being seen as a discount addition and the Maple Leafs not in a position to spend without another move, things are on hold. As for what other teams make up the five or six Friedman referred to, Vancouver was believed to have checked on him at one point. They have around $3.3 million in space. Two teams to keep an eye on might be Anaheim and Nashville. The Ducks moved Trevor Zegras and have a mix of centers who can play wing. They are at 21 of 23 contracts signed and have plenty of cap space. The Predators are also at 21 of 23 contracts and have Fedor Svechkov slotted in as their third-line center. He’s got only eight NHL games on his resume.
The Miami Marlins achieved a franchise first on Sunday. In doing so, they carved out an interesting place in MLB history. With a 7-3 victory over the Yankees, the Marlins swept New York for the first time in a series of three or more games. In doing so, the Marlins became the only team to have a winning record, including the postseason, against the Yankees. The Yankees now have a 22-21 record against the Marlins in the regular season. However, the Marlins won the 2003 World Series against the Yankees in six games, giving the Fish a 25-24 record all-time. The Marlins' victory on Sunday meant more than a unique place in baseball history. That victory evened the Marlins' record at 55-55, the first time they have been at .500 or better since April 15 (8-8). The Marlins are 30-14 in their last 44 games, tying the 2003 championship team for the best stretch (last done from June 18-Aug. 9) in franchise history. The Marlins defied expectations at the trade deadline, holding on to pitchers Sandy Alcantara and Edward Cabrera. Their only trade involved sending outfielder Jesus Sanchez to Houston, acquiring pitcher Ryan Gusto and a pair of prospects. Expectations were that the Marlins were simply waiting for the offseason to trade those pitchers, as there may be a larger market. Instead, the generally inexperienced Marlins roster is growing and improving by the day. They have clawed back from a 24-40 start to the season to pull themselves into the NL wild-card conversation. Although a lot would need to go right for the Marlins to reach the playoffs this season, they could be a dangerous team over the rest of the season and beyond. The Yankees found that out the hard way.
At Sedgefield Country Club in Greensboro, North Carolina, Sunday’s final round of the 2025 Wyndham Championship closed out the PGA Tour’s regular season. It also marked the end of an era for one of golf’s most revered broadcasters. For the last time, Ian Baker-Finch manned the hole-announcing microphone for CBS Sports, capping 30 years in the booth following a playing career that peaked with his victory at the 1991 Open Championship. Before the day was over, Tiger Woods took to X to salute "Finchy." "Congrats Finchy for 30 incredible years behind the microphone. You brought insight into things that the viewing audience could understand and relate to. From all of us—thanks for the memories." The message joined tributes from Jack Nicklaus, Jason Day, Adam Scott and others, underscoring Baker-Finch’s standing among champions past and present. Ian Baker-Finch: From Major Champion to Broadcast Mainstay Baker-Finch turned pro in 1979, winning 17 professional tournaments worldwide. His lone major title came at Royal Birkdale in 1991, where he secured the Open Championship by five strokes. After retiring in the mid-1990s, Baker-Finch transitioned smoothly into broadcasting. He cut his teeth as an analyst on Australian television before joining ESPN and ABC in 1998. In 2007, he became CBS Sports’ dedicated hole announcer, a role he held through 2025, calling golf’s defining moments with a blend of technical acumen and warm delivery. Over 19 seasons with CBS, he covered five Masters and contributed to countless PGA Tour telecasts. Throughout Woods’ five green-jacket haul (1997, 2001, 2002, 2005, 2019), Baker-Finch was a trusted on-course voice that helped demystify championship golf for television audiences. As a player, Baker-Finch remains one of only seven Australian men to win a major championship and is one of a select few to dominate links golf on British soil. As a broadcaster, Baker-Finch’s voice guided generations of fans through golf’s signature moments, shaping how millions understand the game’s subtleties. When the G.O.A.T. of professional golf uses his platform to honor your contribution to the sport, it signals a broadcast career worth remembering.
The New York Yankees have recently been slumping, but they may be getting a boost soon. Yankees right fielder Aaron Judge took batting practice Sunday at the team's minor league complex in Tampa Bay, via Erik Boland of Newsday. The 33-year-old slugger is now expected to return to New York's lineup in Tuesday's road game against the Texas Rangers. The Yankees placed Judge on the 10-day injured list on July 27 because of a flexor strain in his right elbow. He suffered the injury during a 5-4 win over the Toronto Blue Jays on July 22 when throwing a ball from the outfield. New York manager Aaron Boone indicated the injury isn't a long-term concern, but they'll start Judge at designated hitter as a precaution. "No acute injury to the UCL. Overall, that's the good news," the manager said July 27, via MLB.com's Bill Ladson. "With those first few days coming off the IL, it's probably DH mode. Then he'll start throwing ... and hopefully, get back to the outfield shortly thereafter." Still, that's better than no Judge, especially for a team that's losing ground in the American League East race. Entering Sunday, New York (60-51) was third in the division behind the Boston Red Sox (62-51) and the Blue Jays (65-47). The Yankees had also dropped six of their past 10 games, including a shocking 13-12 home loss to the Miami Marlins on Friday. Judge was producing stellar numbers before the injury. In 377 at-bats in 103 games, the two-time AL MVP slashed .342/.449/.711 with 37 home runs. Judge returning at full power would help the Yankees rediscover their groove in the second half of the season.
