It's seems to be the Boston Bruins coming to Europe this year.

Just 15 days after the 2010 Winter Classic at Fenway Park, it appears the Bruins are set for another classic of sorts as they’ll open their 2010-11 season in the city of Prague in the Czech Republic.

According to an NHL source, the Bruins will kick off 2010-11 with two regular-season games in Prague. They will play Phoenix in both games.

NHL to open '10-11 in Helsinki, Stockholm, Prague

The NHL is expanding its foray overseas for the 2010 Compuware NHL Premiere games.

What started as an experiment with the Kings and Ducks going to London to start the 2007-08 season has turned into three major events on the NHL schedule to start the 2010-11 season.

Neither game at Ericsson Globe Arena sold out this weekend, but the NHL official in charge of international play didn't see that as a cause for concern.

No official attendance was announced, but the NHL's Ken Yaffe set Friday's attendance figure at about 12,200 and the turnout for Saturday's game appeared to be significantly less.
...
Both the Sharks and Blue Jackets pushed hard for a full week between games as part of the travel agreement.

Other teams have tried different strategies. The Anaheim Ducks played in London in 2007 and requested some games on the way back to Anaheim. The NHL obliged with a stop in Detroit on a Wednesday, then back-to-back games in Columbus and Pittsburgh on Friday and Saturday. The Ducks lost all three games.

"It wasn't advantageous for us," said Sharks defenseman Kent Huskins, a member of the Ducks at the time. "We started the year 1-6."
