The NHL announced on Thursday that the Carolina Hurricanes will host the 2023 Stadium Series game in Raleigh, North Carolina. They will host the Washington Capitals in the next outdoor hockey game that has grown in popularity seemingly every year. The game is scheduled to take place on February 18th, 2023 at North Carolina State's Carter-Finley Stadium. That facility is directly across the street from the Hurricanes home arena, PNC Arena.

The Hurricanes are experiencing one of the best seasons in franchise history. They lead the division and trail only the Colorado Avalanche for the best record in the NHL. However, both the Pittsburgh Penguins and the New York Rangers are within striking distance in the division.

Meanwhile, the Capitals are holding onto the final wild card spot in the eastern conference. That left some questions about whether the Capitals would make a move prior to the trade deadline later this month. But recent reports have suggested that Washington is going to stand pat amid the recent struggles and injuries.
