The 2014 NHL Stadium Series (marketed as the 2014 Coors Light NHL Stadium Series) consisted of four outdoor regular season contests during the 2013–14 NHL season. This initial Stadium Series event is distinct from the NHL Winter Classic and NHL Heritage Classic games. The matchups featured were: the Los Angeles Kings facing the Anaheim Ducks at Dodger Stadium on January 25, 2014; the New Jersey Devils versus the New York Rangers at Yankee Stadium on January 26; the New York Islanders competing against the Rangers again at Yankee Stadium on January 29; and the Pittsburgh Penguins taking on the Chicago Blackhawks at Soldier Field on March 1.

This Stadium Series was scheduled between other outdoor events that season—the 2014 Winter Classic with the Detroit Red Wings hosting the Toronto Maple Leafs at Michigan Stadium on January 1, and the 2014 Heritage Classic featuring the Vancouver Canucks hosting the Ottawa Senators at BC Place on March 2—thus broadening the NHL's outdoor game offerings. Following these games, the New York Rangers had participated in four outdoor matches, more than any other franchise, including previous appearances in the 2012 Winter Classic and a 1991 exhibition held in Las Vegas.

Dodger Stadium (January 25)

The opening game of the NHL Stadium Series held at Dodger Stadium included live performances by Kiss and Five for Fighting, with ceremonial introductions by Vin Scully and Wayne Gretzky.

The Anaheim Ducks secured a 3–0 victory over the Los Angeles Kings, as goalie Jonas Hiller recorded 36 saves to achieve a shutout.

Yankee Stadium games

The second and third matches of the Stadium Series were hosted at Yankee Stadium, where the Rangers competed against the Devils and Islanders on January 26 and 29, 2014. In both contests, the Rangers acted as the visiting team to maintain the tax-exempt status of their home venue, Madison Square Garden, which stipulates that no "home" fixtures occur outside MSG.

January 26

The second NHL Stadium Series game of 2014, part of a doubleheader held at Yankee Stadium, featured the New Jersey Devils as hosts facing off against the New York Rangers. This event marked the league's inaugural outdoor game within New York City.

Initially set for a 12:30 PM start, the match was postponed by over an hour due to sunlight glare, eventually commencing at 1:38 PM. The Rangers emerged victorious with a 7–3 scoreline, supported by Henrik Lundqvist's 19 saves. After falling behind 3–2 in the opening period, New York rallied with four consecutive goals in the second frame and capped it off with a penalty shot goal from Derek Stepan in the third. Standout performances included Mats Zuccarello netting two goals, along with single goals from Rick Nash, Marc Staal, and Carl Hagelin. For New Jersey, Patrik Eliáš contributed two goals while Travis Zajac added one.

Uniforms

All participating teams donned custom-designed uniforms for the occasion, with the exception of the Devils, who sported vintage red and green jerseys. The Islanders introduced their Stadium Series uniform on November 27, 2013. Following this, the Ducks and Kings jointly unveiled their jerseys on December 3, while the Penguins presented theirs on December 13. The Blackhawks and Rangers revealed their uniforms on December 20. For the Penguins-Blackhawks matchup, goalie Marc-André Fleury wore a mask inspired by the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Reality television series

The first-ever Stadium Series served as the basis for a seven-episode documentary titled NHL Revealed: A Season Like No Other, which debuted on January 22, 2014, airing on NBC Sports Network and CBC in Canada. This series highlighted the preparation of key players for the 2014 Olympic Tournament in Sochi, distinguishing itself from the earlier HBO 24/7: Road to the NHL Winter Classic by focusing primarily on Olympic coverage, with NBCSN and CBC as principal broadcasters.

Television ratings

The opening game secured a national rating of 0.35 with an audience of 622,000 viewers on NBCSN—considered modest but above average for NHL games on the West Coast. In Los Angeles, it achieved a local rating of 2.38, making NBCSN the top-rated cable channel during its broadcast.
Game two attracted a national rating of 1.3 and drew 2.091 million viewers on NBC, surpassing all non-regional indoor regular season broadcasts since NHL’s return to NBC in 2005, though it did not reach Winter Classic viewership levels. In New York, it earned a local rating of 5.1, matching the highest market ratings for NHL on NBC regular season contests.
The third game recorded a national rating of 0.41 with 682,000 viewers on NBCSN, consistent with typical Wednesday Night Rivalry broadcasts. It garnered a strong local rating of 3.58 in New York.
The fourth game, broadcast during prime time on NBC, achieved a national rating of 2.1—the highest for any regular season game outside of the Winter Classic since NBC began its NHL contract.
