Local NHL fans are rejoicing!
The Stadium Series game between the New York Islanders and New York Rangers will be staged Sunday (Feb. 18, 2024) at 3 p.m. ET.
Stadium Series games are outdoors and started in 2008. They are a big hit with the fans.
If you’re still looking for a ticket, you’re in luck and the prices aren’t as high as you think. Tickets start at $68 on Vividseats.com and escalate to more than $800.

Don’t forget Vividseats.com is a secondary ticket marketplace, where existing ticket owners resell their seats at a price usually higher than the face value. Plus, there could be additional fees of up to 56%.
