Talk about future planning, the Oilers are off to Cologne for 2 games in the 2027/28 season, no opponents announced yet. It's part of a odd partnership with Bayern Munich to help promote the NHL in Germany and Bayern in North America. I'm not sure either need help promoting in each territory as they are doing well as it is.
However, the early heads up certainly gives the European based Oilers fans another chance to see team once again and hopefully win, the least said about the loss in Sweden the better.
Take me home, country road
to the place where I belong
to Alberta, to see the Oilers

I get why they do this, but I don't recall it ever being a good way for the Oilers to start the season when they do things like this.

I don’t see a reference to the dates, but I think it will be midseason prior to the Xmas break rather than at the start of the season based on the December dates for teams playing in Europe this season.

I think that would be much better for the team, so I hope that is the case.
