The Sharks will play host to the Kings in a regular-season outdoor NHL® game at Levi's® Stadium on Saturday, Feb. 21, 2015, at 7 p.m. PT/10 p.m. ET.

The NHL will host a press event Thursday at Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, Calif., site of the 2015 Coors Light NHL Stadium Series game between the San Jose Sharks and the Los Angeles Kings.

The game will be played Feb. 21, 2015. Among those on hand to discuss it will be NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman, NHL Chief Operating Officer John Collins, Sharks general manager Doug Wilson and Kings president of business operations Luc Robitaille. The press event can be seen live on NHL Network and NHL.com at 6 p.m. ET.

"The growing excitement around NHL hockey in California, the intensity of last season's playoff series between these teams and the state-of-the-art setting at Levi's Stadium will bring a thrilling new dimension to the Kings-Sharks rivalry," Commissioner Bettman said in August.

Playing in front of approximately 68,500 fans in a state-of-the-art outdoor venue is intriguing to the San Jose Sharks for reasons that go beyond ticket sales and setting attendance records for hockey games played in California.

"There is a halo effect that happens when you host these games," Sharks chief operating officer John Tortora said.

Tortora was talking about the aftershocks teams can experience because of their participation as the host club in one of the marquee events on the NHL's regular-season calendar. The Sharks are hoping to reap those rewards now that the NHL has officially announced San Jose will host the Los Angeles Kings in a 2015 Coors Light NHL Stadium Series game at Levi's Stadium on Feb. 21, 2015.

Levi's Stadium, located in Santa Clara, Calif., is the new home for the NFL's San Francisco 49ers. It is located approximately 8.5 miles from SAP Center, the Sharks' home arena.

Outdoor hockey is returning to California for a second straight season, the National Hockey League announced Wednesday. This season's game features two teams that have become quite familiar with each other in recent years.

The San Jose Sharks will be the home team against the Los Angeles Kings at Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara on Feb. 21, 2015 at 7 p.m. PT (10 p.m. ET) as part of the 2015 Coors Light NHL Stadium Series. The game will be broadcast by NBCSN and "Hockey Night in Canada."
