Four teams will take part in regular-season games in Europe next season, NHL commissioner Gary Bettman confirmed to TSN's Pierre LeBrun.

Among the matchups, the Florida Panthers and Winnipeg Jets will square off for two games in Finland in November. Tampere native Patrik Laine is sure to be a draw, as is Panthers forward Aleksander Barkov, who hails from the same hometown.

Additionally, the Edmonton Oilers and New Jersey Devils will do battle in Sweden at the beginning of next season. It's a homecoming for a number of players from both squads, including Oilers blue-liners Adam Larsson and Oscar Klefbom, and Devils forwards Marcus Johansson and Jesper Bratt.

The Oilers will also head overseas during the preseason for an exhibition game held in Germany, the home country of forward Leon Draisaitl, while the Devils will do the same in Switzerland, where Nico Hischier will play in front of a home crowd.
