Bettman wants second 'Outdoor Classic'

He made the comment Wednesday at the conclusion of the Board of Governors meeting in Pebble Beach, Calif.

"There's been a lot of speculation," Bettman said.

This season's "Outdoor Classic" is Jan. 1 between the Bruins and Philadelphia Flyers at Boston's Fenway Park. It will be nationally televised in the United States by NBC Sports.

The Calgary Flames had expressed an interest in a second "Outdoor Classic," this season but talks broke down when talks were held in the summer.
