This will be the fist European visit for the original six team and they will now kick it off in Zurich on September 28 with the exhibition game against Davos.  That will be their warm up prior to the Victoria Cup challenge match against the European champion Zurich Lions.

This is good news for the Chicago Blackhawks following their overtime loss in game 2 against the Detroit Red Wings.  It now looks like their chances at the Stanley Cup have faded, but at least there will be the Victoria Cup for them to fall back on in four months.
