Will the Bs be playing overseas in the near future?

Back in October, it was announced that the NHL was surveying a never before used host for preseason games in the near future.

According to Sportsnet's Elliotte Friedman, Gary Bettman and Co. are interested in taking the league to Australia. Sometime in early 2023 or 2024. As per Friedman:

And David Pagnotta of The Fourth Period revealed that the Boston Bruins are a potential team to participate if the NHL goes Down Under.

The NHL has one Australian player among its 32 teams, which is forward Nathan Walker of the St. Louis Blues. He was born in Wales but grew up in Sydney before becoming the first Australian to be drafted after the Washington Capitals selected him 89th overall in 2014.

He made his debut in 2017, officially becoming the first Aussie to play in the NHL, and has since appeared in 68 career games with the Capitals, Edmonton Oilers and the St. Louis Blues.
