Good chance of regular NHL games in Germany

Cologne (SID) The North American professional ice hockey league NHL is expected to host another league game in Germany soon. “I assume that we will play a regular season game here in the near future,” said deputy NHL boss Bill Daly before the duel between the Kölner Haien and the Edmonton Oilers (3:4 nV). This should happen within the next five years. “I hope so,” replied Oilers striker Leon Draisaitl when asked whether he believed there would soon be main round games in his native Germany. "Everyone enjoyed this event," said the 22-year-old: "It would be great to have regular season games here." In 2011, the Buffalo Sabers and the Los Angeles Kings (4:2) met in Berlin. Basically, the development in Germany with a successful national team and many professionals in North America is "important for the NHL. Hopefully it will continue like this. We will do what we can for it," said Daly. The Cologne guest game of the Oilers, who open their season in Gothenburg against the New Jersey Devils on Saturday, was “a success,” said Daly. That was already clear before the duel began.
