The National Hockey League has released the 2008-09 pre-season schedule, which runs from Saturday, September 20 through Monday, October 6. The 110-game pre-season slate features the four NHL clubs that will open the regular season in Europe -- the New York Rangers, Ottawa Senators, Pittsburgh Penguins and Tampa Bay Lightning -- playing five games in four European cities.
On September 28, the Lightning play German league champion Eisbaren Berlin in the German capital at the new 02 World Arena.
The Rangers face Russian club Metallurg Magnitogorsk in Bern, Switzerland on October 1 in competition for the Victoria Cup, a trophy slated to be awarded each year to the winner of a match between an NHL team and the winner of Europe's IIHF-sanctioned Champions Hockey League. The night before the Victoria Cup, the Rangers will face 11-time Swiss league champion SC Bern.
