The Minnesota Wild will host the St. Louis Blues for the NHL's Winter Classic New Year's Day at Target Field in Minneapolis, following the 2021 cancellation -- and tickets are on sale now.

The NHL's season has been on an extended holiday pause since last Wednesday due to concerns over COVID-19. The Winter Classic will be the Wild's first game since losing in Dallas on December 20th.

The two teams were set to play at Target Field on New Year's Day 2021, before the COVID-19 pandemic threw a wrench into things, canceling the outdoor event.

It will be the first Winter Classic for the Wild, but their second time hosting an outdoor game. The Wild and Blackhawks played at TCF Bank Stadium in 2016 as part of the NHL's stadium series.
